I knew you liked a longer rake. When we were putting this one together we referenced you old boat a lot. I think we are around a 7ft rake on this one.

How wide is your boat?

WOT with 1 guy up front it turns like it is on rails. Move the guy to the rear at WOT it doesn't do as well but it still does very good. That's impressive considering it was at WOT. Daniel said the turning, speed, and general performance was impressive.

Only had about 6gal of gas in it so when it gets loaded I think it will be perfect!

Still experimenting with it all, Daniel is still driving it and doesn't want to give it to me. lol He said the motor is very strong and with 1 guy it should sprout wings and fly hahaha. He said the boat runs really flat and preforms better than any of the others he has had. He was very happy with it.

THANKS to both Daniel and Calen. They both did an excellent job!!!

Daniel has worked his tail off to make this thing great.

Calen did an excellent job and worked his magic on the motor as well. I'm impressed and I haven't even got to drive it yet.

Really love the boat. I've been watching it from when it was just a pile of sheet metal. Its one of my favorites. Congrats on a bad ass boat.

Daniel said the motor sounds really strong and will turn over 4600 pretty easy with it trimmed up.

He was running at around 4500-4550 with 2 people. He said it has a lot of torque and is preforming great!!!

I am like a kid at Christmas. From what I can tell the boat, trailer, and motor have exceeded expectations. It's not often you can say that about any project.

That looks like one heavy duty boat and heavy too. The craftsmanship looks like Excellent plus.

In some off the pictured showing the chines, seems rounded and almost curved back into the interior and then flares up to the gunwales. But in one they look almost rounded and then flares up, which is it. And what type of performance does this bring?

I had to look at every photo twice, I really appreciate the quality of this boat.

I just couldn't wait any longer so we threw the motor on it and took it to the river. I'm not easily impressed but the boat performs great and the motor sounds strong. It turns better than I thought it would. Should get it all finished up this week and sent to Arkansas. I really don't wanna let it go. I wanna keep it! And the camo came out great

thanks for posting the photos of the rear end. So looking at the chines, this should give true round chine turning, I am thinking.

This boat looks indestructible.

I'm not knocking boat, it looks good. Just talking it up like its fast. It a heavy boat with stage 2 running what a normal boat runs with stage 1 whoopie fuckin dooo. They also running Fred's which has a current like running calumet cut.
Aka u don't even have a boat to fuckin run so why u talking shot. go bum some more hunts bc ur boat ain't in order u broke back bitcch
