Comments:
all i can say is the boat turned out just how i imagined, i knew it would be no speed boat and went with the 25 because of hp restrictions, i am very satisfied on how evrything turned out....

if anyone looking into a custom build, i wanna say give Willet a call and see what he can do for you.

the little 25 has more torque than expected, sitting on bottom/soft mud with full hunt load , was able to jump on plane within 2 boat lengths

sounds good post up some pics. when you get a chance

Good review Caleb! Reminds me I still haven't done one.

The deep water speed is coming from the 44" bottom, if you were have gone 48" of even 50", would have been a world of difference in load carrying and load carrying deep water speed. But some around here go narrow also to run tight spots and trees.

^^^ some of the ditches i run , im still rubbing the banks on each side of boat...wanted to go the long skinny route.. 3 people will be the max i run anyways.. and when the temp gets to 35-40 like wed/thurs this week.. 22 is plenty fast for me
