 Re: Mad man custom boats
I called when I was looking....great prices. Seemed to be a nice guy.
That being said. He was using .090 aluminum.

 Re: Mad man custom boats
What's he using .090? .080? And how many braces? 2? Maybe 3? I guess it may do it until you hit that first stump!

 Re: Mad man custom boats
3/16 bottom and everything else 1/8, I should have taken a pic of the boat he is close to finishing up but looks like more than three braces but didn't count

I really doubt it will run anywhere close to 31 with a stock motor however with the 3/16 bottom you shouldn't have to worry about dents. I just wouldn't expect the speeds he's claiming

 Re: Mad man custom boats
Not sure what size you are wanting, but I would expect something more along the lines of 26-28 mph.

 Re: Mad man custom boats
My boat, built by Cory (thirdtimesacharm), 3/16 bottom, the rest 1/8, 8" catwalks, extended deck, open floor, ended up be 19' 10". It'll do 26-27 one person empty with a stock 36 PD.

 Re: Mad man custom boats
31mph?? LMAO
When people ask me. "How fast it will run?" My reply is. More than 20mph. Less than 40mph. If you want guaranteed speeds , I'll build you a padded bay boat. We got a 27' running 84mph. 1/4" bottom. 3/16" sides
Get that 31 mph is writing.

 Re: Mad man custom boats
19'x45'x19' is BIG!!!!
I'll take 1000 of them for that price. But, I only want 19'x45'x4'. 19' deep is extremely too deep. Unless you build ya camp in it. Maybe have a access door about 4' from bottom.

 Re: Mad man custom boats
It's a V-bottom that has a racing pad that forms to transom. It allows the boat (with enough HP) to ride on pad. Pad is approx. 18" wide. When running correctly, about 2" of pad and cavitation plate is the only alum touching water. Allison Race boats have the same design.

Sounds fun. Now someone has to mod out a MM to run on a padded boat.

Boat runs in the upper 70's, low 80's and is very stable. If it were a little shorter, thus lighter, I would have run this thing against my old 202 Blazer without a problem.
