Did mine like that too. Don't really like it as much as a hunt deck but had to do it that way so the front of my motor wouldn't hit. |

Looks like ya need a tubing roller? Maybe my eyes are going bad but those look like welded cuts on the runners? Boat looks good though! |

They aren't on my boat. Can't be any worse that Gatortail running flat bar from the start of the rake to the front. |

Wanted a huntdeck on it but i am putting a backwater 35 longtail on it so i was afraid motor would hit on this one also if i would have put hunt deck on it. And tubing roller would be nice but hate to fork cash on something i wouldnt use much this is first complete build i have done and learned lots and am happy with it i just have to put sub floor down and paint interior and it will pretty much be down. |

There's no one around you that has a set of rolls? Doesn't take a lot but its nice to weld all the braces together and roll them all at the same time. |

Is that uni strut in the bottom on either side? I'm guessing that's what your bolting your boxes to? |

That's a good looking boat! Looks like you got ahold of some gator trax prints |

| Post subject: | Re: 18x46 custom boat first boat build |
yes aluminum unistrut to bolt box to between horizontal braces so once i start running boat i can slide box forward or back to adjust load weight because it will hold tools and stuff and it will also be the seat for passengers and no gatortrax prints i wanted it to kinda look like one but being first boat i have built start to finish i never figured it would turn out as nice as it did thanks for the comments |

1.5x1.5 x.125 put a metal blade on table saw and cut it down the side to slide it over the hull side |

I used extruded gunnel on my last one and it turned out alot cleaner looking than the ones in the past. |

Boat looks great man . What angle are your sides at and how much did you cut off the bottom to pull in for the narrow front? |

Putting it on my 1648 War Eagle. Should scoot pretty good! |

Is that the 648LVD 16x48 War Eagle you are talking about? That rig has an 8 degree dead rise hull on it I will be curious to see how it runs. Did you get the short or the tall transom for this and did you get the 59 or 71 tail. I am looking for a good boat to put either a 27 or 35 on but it is hard as hell to find any that don't have any dead rise that is over 16 feet with a V rake. I found one that was a 15X48 flat bottom man I bet that would scoot with a 35 on it, even a 27. Thanks for sharing Phil |

I've got a 648LDV. It has a 16" transom and I'm going with the shorter SS frame. I have a 23hp Back Water on it now and it moves along very well! |
