I also added some supports to the back of the t top. It had a little bit of a wag in the back when I would hit waves and this stiffened it up a lot. I guess that's part of working with what you find versus having things custom built.

Hey all. Well I've gotten a few hours behind the helm and so far so good. I've made a few small tweaks here and there and it is really getting dialed in now. I ended up changing props again this time to a 20 pitch four blade powertech and I think it's going to be the keeper. The other one was good but would slip a little more than I wanted especially around turns. This one has a little better bite and hole shot and actually added a few mph to the top end. I saw 42 on my first test run on a crappy cool day.

Took it out for the first real trial this weekend. Took advantage of the nice weather and ran from Bradenton down to Gasparilla. I averaged a 30-32 mph cruise at about 4700 rpms and 4.5 mpg with five people and 20-30 gallons of fuel.

Made it!

Ah, commit that placid picture to memory as the deck becomes covered in blood, sweat and scales. :ScrChin:

Enjoy!

Thought I might get an up close inspection of it on Sunday out at Passage key. But I realized as we got closer it was a Mako redone quite similar to yours.

I've gone now gone through this whole thread piece-meal. Beautiful work Mike.

I'll be doing the transom on my 19-1 very similarly to how you did yours.

Your boat looks great. Question: what did you use for rub rail and are you happy with it. It sure looks sharp.

Thank you, guys!

For the rubrail I went with the Taco V11-9811WCM70-2 and splurged for the matching flush mount lights. They were not cheap but I really like them both. The lights are really bright for how small they are and so far seem pretty durable. I kissed a plastic piling last week and actually had to remove one of the screws to get all the plastic out but it didn't hurt the light at all.

I remember looking through this when I started my build. Very nice looking boat mike. I'm sure you have gotten some good use out of it. I cant wait to finish mine up. I didnt do nearly as much as you. Hows it been treating you? Any regrets or things you wish you would have done differently?

Ah yes, I have definitely gotten some use out of it. So far I haven't had any real issues. Just some small stuff that was mostly to be expected as I dialed it in.

Luckily I don't have any real regrets. I mean of course I could have just spent a lot more money and made everything brand new and perfect, but I think given my abilities and resources it came out better than I expected.

Money is the answer to most questions. At least with boats 😂. Glad to hear that.

Hey guys! Well she's made it a year and is still kicking. There have been lots of family trips, a ton of scales on the deck and a few dings and scratches but overall has handled it well. Thankfully there have been no major issues, knock on wood. Last month I added a power pole, which is a game changer when fishing the flats, and last weekend I did a full service on the motor.

Here's to another great year  :singing:
