Hung a motor today!     Not really a fan of any black motor but this one kinda fell in my lap..
Boat looks small now.

Thats because you got the wrong Black motor!    :29:

Now get out and run it!  :thumleft:

Doesn't seem to look smaller from the side.
Looking good man.

Very impressed with how the boat runs, much smoother than other flatbacks ive been on... the Porta is a must have to get the attitude right. Get the bow down and she just goes (she likes weight forward for sure).   Super efficient and hauls weight like nothing with the 4 blade that's on it, nice low speed cruise...    My uncle who used to run one at the OMC test center said the little keel extension made a world of difference in the sliding they always had.     

Only negative I have is the scuppers pull in water so ive been using some plugs for now...

Towed her to the Bahamas Tuesday, got back last nite.

Handpainted

















First ten seconds in the water I shot this guy. New boat luck I think!

Looks like you had a grand time. Glad you made it there and back ok.  Looks like she towed well too.
