Post subject: | 1854 Uncle J Bateau - STAGE 2 36hp ProDrive |
MM Brand: ProDrive Horsepower: 36 Boat Brand: Uncle J Boat Size: 18x54 Boat Layout: Wide Open Additional Boat Specs: -Flat Pipe Front -1/8th Sides -3/16” Bottom and Transom -Tall (20”) transom -22” Sides -4” Cat Walks with 1" square tube outer gunnel rails -1/8" Full Welded Floor -Battery Tray Back Rear -TM Bracket -LED Shark Eye Lights -Removable Grab Bar in Catwalk -Drink Holder in Catwalk -Two Tripod Seat Bases -Cajun Camo Custom Paint - Max 4 Pattern -5’ Extended Front Deck, 40” Dry Storage, 20” Stow Under Deck Extension -Boat rigged and wired up by me STOCK Speeds: I've only taken the boat out a few times since I got it and never ran it by myself yet, so here are a couple speeds I've observed so far. All speeds taken with iPhone Navionics GPS. I will update as I get more time on the rig... - 2 People, 6 gallons of gas, light load: 26.5-27 mph steady, mostly deep water. Boat bumped over 27 in shallow, but never did get to 28. - 4 Adults and 1 nine year old, guns, shell buckets, no decoys: 21.5-23.5 depending on water depth (I was surprised it even got on step with this load) - 3 Adults and 1 young teenager, full hunting load (guns, decoys, etc.): 23-24.5 mph in mostly shallow water (8"-10" depth) **STAGE 1 SPEEDS: 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. 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. -Light Load: Me (185 lbs), 6 gallons of gas, and a prop that's worn a bit - 32.0-32.7 MPH It bumped 33.1-33.5 MPH a couple times also, but those were not constant. -Me, wife, 2 kids, 50qt K2 full of ice and drinks, 9 gal of gas, 3 bags charcoal, plus all the chairs, etc. running steady 28-29 MPH. It was running a tad faster with that load than it did empty stock. I like it This boat is solid. I wanted a simple, open hull with no permanent boxes or anything to take up floor space, so that's what I had built. This boat is a night/day difference compared to the 1652 Alweld boat I was previously running with my PD. I'm really impressed with how this boat handles a load compared to my previous hull, and it also jumps on step a bit faster despite being a larger, heavier boat. All BS aside, when it came down to it Jason was a great guy to do business with - despite what others may say from time to time on this site. I told him what I wanted, and about 3-1/2 weeks later it was hooked to my truck - just in time for hunting season. I'm very satisfied with the outcome of the entire process and product. Pictures: Here's a few Jason sent me during the build... Ready for Paint... Finished Product... |

just curious how does it turn? Already touched base with uncle J about price and such, just wondering? |

Post subject: | Re: 1854 Uncle J Bateau - 36hp ProDrive |
It's a square chine boat, so it'll slide forever if you let it. However, it doesn't take very long to figure it out and make it turn like you want. |

Post subject: | Re: 1854 Uncle J Bateau - 36hp ProDrive |
he was telling me something about crimping the 3/16 some how and making a form of taper. Mine will be use in a deep water with stumps and trees mostly and needs to turn. |

The rake then? We don't have skiffs up north. I hear they are the devil. |
