Sorry I'm late to the party, Aaron....I really like the idea of a flat deck, but on these boats I think the raised casting deck is better.  All the boats with flat decks seem to have extra wide gunnels compared to our flatbacks.  Unless you plan to widen your gunnels, I think you will miss the stability  that leaning against the gunnel offers.  Especially when you get hit by that rogue wake that comes out of nowhere.

i have been thinking about it more and i think i will stick with the original plan and go with the casting deck...

i have a buyer for my ATV, so hopefully i can order a porta bracket this week... hate to see it go but i just dont use it enough, i used it a whopping 3 times last year. its an '07 Honda TRX400EX that has less than 40 hours on it...



now if someone buys my osprey and F150 i can finish the boat, or at least have it useable by our annual july trip of scalloping & debauchery

Aaron, bite the bullet on the F1fiddy.  She's been for sale for a while now, I know you have a bunch in her, but...

[Aswaff400]

bob, i have the f150 listed for $5700, which is a pretty fair price considering the amount of work done and just the $$ for the parts alone.

You are correct grasshopper, but remember the old...what the market will bear...

You have any bites off the 4X4 sites?  Drop her to $4995, only $700, see what happens.  It's kinda like all the chit we see on TV for $19.99.  People won't pay $20 for something, but they WILL pay...

you know how craigslist works... i drop the price 700, they want if for another 1000 less than that
