Which boat?

Author	Message
mudeagle MMT Member Joined: Wed Oct 14, 2009 9:22 am Posts: 41	Which boat? Well some of you have followed my stories of twisted hulls and hooked bottoms but I need another boat. I have owned 2 pro-drive boats and have hooked the hell out of both of them. Is there a boat made with a stronger/thicker bottom or more bracing that can handle the stump field abuse? Should I put teflon on the boat as soon as i get it or what. Tired of going though boats!!!! Looking for a 17x54 w/ tapered chines, one rear pod seat and a short (3 ft) front deck.

A 20'x4' sheet of aluminum will be about 140lb for 1/8", 210 for 3/16" and 280lb for 1/4". I loose about 1 mph for every 150lb of weight added. So that = about a .5 mph lose over my 3/16". _________________ 18x48 Charles Leonard / 36PD "I do think there is a Squatch in these woods"!!!!!
