Post New rig completed
So I was sitting up one night thinking about what kind I boat I wanted to build next. Being that I'm in south louisiana I decided to give Lynn over at extream metal fab a call and see what kind of options I had. Ended up getting him to build me a 16x44 skiff with a hunt deck. Started looking around for a motor and found a 27hp mud buddy that was modded by Russ. Got it all put together and wow am I pleased with it. Used my phones GPS and a couple friends out fishing in another boat with a speedometer and it appears that I'm bumping 32 empty all but my yeti up front and battery up front to keep it from bouncing so bad on step. Was very pleased and figured I would share with you guys.

Haha we might could work something out one day. Figured this thing would run pretty quick but I have to give it to Russ he had more faith in the set up than I did.
