Re: 1854 Uncle J Bateau - 36hp ProDrive **STAGE 1 UPDATE**
So after running this boat for a while stock, I decided it was time to upgrade a bit to push this barge of a boat I have (Please see original post for boat specs). I brought the boat to Jamie B. and he put his "Stage 1" voodoo on it, and I am more than impressed with the results. Keep in mind I've only run this boat with these new mods for about 10 minutes, so I'm sure there's a bit more to be desired. Speeds were taken with Navionics GPS app on my iPhone.
Previous speeds were +/- 28 MPH at best light load - me (185 lbs), 6 gallons of gas, and a prop that's worn a bit. New Speeds: 32.0-32.7 MPH It bumped 33.1-33.5 a couple times also, but those were not constant.
This was between 4550-4580 RPM, and everytime I tried to go over that the boat would porpoise too bad so I had to lay off, so there's still more motor to get out of this thing. I also just ran it in Bayou Boeuf, which has a constant current and the wind speeds were probably in the 5 mph range. I found so far that the best cruise speed is about 30.8-31.2 MPH at 4480-4500 rpm.
Can't wait to see what it does this weekend with a bit of a load. Thanks again Jamie!!

This is money well spent. That is just about the perfect boat. I would not change a thing and if I were in the market I would want the exact same rig.

Re: 1854 Uncle J Bateau - STAGE 1 36hp ProDrive
Bayouboy skeg. I'll see how it does this weekend in the veggies. I'll say one thing, BB cuts this thing out to the gnats ass because that little bit of paint I put on it caused me to have to beat it in place. But I'm glad I painted it to match, really like how it came out...

Re: 1854 Uncle J Bateau - STAGE 1 36hp ProDrive
I put the block of wood under the trim ram and trim all the way up to it when trailering. It takes the slack out and doesn't bounce as bad when going down the road.

Appreciate the kind words fellas. And I'm more than happy with the work both Uncle J and Jamie B. put into the boat/motor.

He's more or less retired, I think, but you can PM him on this site - "UNCLE-J". He builds a nice boat for sure.
