I picked up a mold for cheap so decided to build me another inboard. I always preferred a glass boat ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21363629527.597791.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk 21363629568.484024.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk 21363629599.798534.jpg

This is a very nice project you have going, great job. That hull looks familar, is that the old Midnight Hull out of Lockport?

Take that skull head off of the shifter they break very easy, and hurt the hell out of your hand after.LOL. I would drill and tap the duck head for a shifter.

It is the old Midnight mold, they are so good running boats. I know what you are talking about with the flare, it opens the hull up big time.

Thats what mine is at. Keep up the good work, I want to here the reviews of this boat running. I had a neighbor that had a hull like this with a Sweet 16 in it straight drive, used to run 48 on GPS and was hell to drive.
