Boat is a 2054 Aucoin with 5/16 bottom plus 1/4 teflon bottom, 3 cross braces, big front deck, and tallsides/tran.
Bottom is way more than I wanted but I know that it will last a long time.
Motor is a PD36 stage 2 with 12/14 hopkins cleaver.
Ran the boat for right at 2 hours with 12 gallons gas, me (225), wife (140) kids (60) buddy (210) tools (15) and we ran about 20-25 at 3500 rpm. We cruised nicely through the grass at caddo at 3200rpm.
I did not have a GPS but i was probably about 5 mph slower than a buddys 2060 PD36 with about 250 lbs in it. Thats why im saying I ran 20-25.
Was happy with the rig, and i needed more prop, at tackoff i would blowout if i got on it to much in deep water.
When i get here back together i will post up GPS speeds but it will be atleast a week............FYI If someone offers to rivet your floor back down for you LET THEM.
