If uncle j built me a 16' 50" bottom with a gun box, rear seat, and 21 inch sides and a 4' deck bout how much would it weight... And bout how fast would I push it with my gt 35

Better off with a longer boat

Yeah, definitely jump it up to a 17 or 18' boat with a huntdeck & you'll be happier with it. Probably weigh in ~450lbs & should run 28-30 with a stock motor.

Well I got a custom boat.. its 17' 48" with a 4' deck, center seat, rear seat, 24" sides but I would like do do some work on it to get it like I want it.... I can get 34.2 right now with Jus me and I weight 210

Go with an 18x50 with huntdeck which will approximatly be 17ft. of boat to play with with a 4 1/2 to 5ft fishing deck and don't look back

All I got is a after market exhaust from gator tail

and you runnin 34?

Dude, if that's true, then you need to keep the boat you're runnin now & leave everything alone!!!!!!!

Down the calumet cut on high tide?

Well I ain't liein... I put on a gps the day I brought it home... Would yall cut the the sides down to 21 or leave em at 24... I'm never in bad water so why would I need the tall sides?

Their isn't a stock boat of any kind running 34!! It takes major mods to run 34 how many rpm it turns

my rig can carry a heavy load

3900 to 4000...

34mph is booking it for a stock motor and i would go as far to say that it is unheard of!

34 will not happen... Maybe with a 20 mph tail wind & going down current on a fast moving river

Where's the link to that calculator lol

I see, i ddin't say it was impossible but me personally i haven't heard of that! Maybe downstream with a hell of a tail wind

Have a buddy that will get 35 with a 31 mud buddy on a 15.5 foot boat by himself.

Well boys I can tell yall that I ain't liein but believe what yall want... I had a 03, 27 prodrive on that boat and I got 27 out of it and sold it

You know Giga?

Aight MASTER if that's what u say.... Naw I don't know giga

my boat doesnt weigh much more than my engine, and it took a lotta dough to get it to 34 mph

i ran 29 mph the other day with my 1336 skiff i built with my 32hp stage 1 pd with a worn prop

was still gaining speed but the bow bounce was too much to handle

sorry to jack the thread just had to tell someone

yea finally finished it its a bad ass little boat! i didnt pay that close attention with nothing in the boat but when i get back there with the motor it only has bout 4-5" left

it ran steady 27 with me (180) one of my driver pods from the big boat, another guy (220). full tank of gas and battery up front

Nice! You still plannin' on getting a smaller motor for it, or u just gonna run it with the genny?

gonna drag it and test a 23 gtr in couple of weeks when I have to go down that way anyways

Well fellas i would like to apoligize about the speed i said i was gettin in my boat and the arugments... I put another gps on it the other day and i got 27.5 in deep water ... I would like to know where my custom boat was made at and, is there any way i could find out? All it has is a serial number...

It has a few letters and numbers on it.... Is there any where i could an type it in an it would tell me where it was made?

So did you bake that crow or grille it? ....back to the topic why do you want to cut down the sides or change anything on the boat? 27-29mph with a stock motor is about all your going to get.

I Jus don't like the way the boat is set up and I want to get one built the way I want it.... There's nothing wrong with the boat I'm gone sale it after season...

How about you post a picture of the hull. I'm sure somone on here can ID it for you.

how in the hell do i put a picture up on here?????????????
