Nice pictures Aaron!  I think you can find your next project boat on that river.  And those cushions look great too.

Looks great! What is your freeboard height near the transom roughly?

finally ordered something the boat has lacked for a while... rub-rail! lol

also figured out how to get the MPG to show up. i had a setting wrong. turning 3500rpm i got 2.5mpg @ 33mph... this pic  is cruising at 4200rpm, 39.9mph, 2.2mpg



and pics of the rub-rail done.







and took this shot earlier this afternoon of downtown and the pier.

Nice pics, Aaron!  I had previously noticed that you didn't have a rubrail, but I didn't think too much about it.  Now that it is installed, it really makes a difference!  (not that it didn't look awesome before...now it just looks more awsomer!)

less than a year since i first splashed her and and already quickly approaching 100 hours...

today i took an old co worker out fishing today, and got into a big school of reds, only got one keeper, a 20 incher, the rest where between 29 and 36 inches. it was one right after another. even got a few snapper on the flats, and got some keepers under the bridge in the morning...





one throw of the net, filled the well, love my new 12ft x3/8 net

 :thumleft: :stupid: Nice rig Aaron and it looks like you are making it work. Nothing finer than fish in the boat even if they do have to go back. Its not always about the fish in the frying pan but the adventure to get them in the boat. Good Job.
