 :bravo_2:  Looks to be sitting well in the water.  How'd it perform?

She is overbuilt, solid as a rock going throught chop and waves, surprisingly dry. For those that close their transoms and add brackets and a bulkhead back there you should definitely raise your floors 2 1/2 to 3 inches. My floor is just barely enough with 6 people on the boat and I wouldn't want it any higher cause of the reduced gunnel height. Put 3 hours on the motor and was able to run it up to 4000.

What a killer build. You covered a lot of ground in a hurry between the paint and launching it. Well done.

Today I fabricated the windshield, I should have it installed by tomorrow and I'll post up some photos. Wednesday will be the maiden striper journey. This site was instrumental in my planning and construction. I will keep posted and help others along their journeys if needed as I have learned a ton and made a few mistakes along the way. Nothing that couldn't be fixed, just stuff that ate up precious time.

How did the first bass trip go. Hope the boat was all that you were hoping for.

Boat ran good however the bass didn't co-operate. Hey the boat is what it is, its not a monster ocean boat. It handles well enough though.

Got her out and got some blood on the deck, really impressed with this motor. Checked my speed via gps, 51 mph wide open.

There is nothing quite like the instant gratification in findning a build thread that is a few years old.

She came out great. Love the color and stand alone console (no t-top / tower etc)


We could use some more boat porn though, with the new windshield etc
