I noticed you are from Jacksonville, that right? If so and you ever decide you want to change something, want to add somethin (bowfishing deck or whatever), or need something fixed, my shop is in Flint, TX and do custom fabrication and such. Just in case you don't want to drive back up there to that guy.

Again very nice boat!

Got my motor and mounted it today. Going to hook it up and run it a little tomorrow. May have to get the longer handle. It is ok until I have to turn right. Is that normal? If I wanted to make a tight turn I will have to stand up.

Is it normal to not be able to turn all the way to the right without standing?

Yea that's fine, with as wide of a boat as it is, it'd be almost impossible for anyone to pull that off

Got it in the pond today to test it out. Only have 150+/- yards before I have to shut it down and it ran 25.4 in deep water. Forgot to look and see what the rpms were but I will check later. Sitting still the back was floating about 2.5-3 Inches. Ready to get it on the lake and see what it will really do.

Just ran it again to get rpm. Got 25.9 @ 3650. What are yalls WFO rpms? I think that is pretty low. But I am new to the SD and auto trim so it will take a little time to get it down. I was still climbing speed when I shut it down to not jump the dam.

It is mounted right inside the front hatch. Has wireless remote so I can run it from anywhere.

I am out of town right now but will when I get back. The mount is welded to the uprights on the deck. U could weld it to the bottom runners but then it would take up room.

Post Re: New boat
nice build man. Tell Ty to come on over and pimp some hulls.


I bet the speed is about all you going to get out of it. Once you weight it down you iwll see a consistant 22-24 nothing wrong with that.


Who did the paint?

Hunter lovelady in winnsboro tx did the paint. If anyone wants his number to get a price or whatever just send me a pm. It's a pretty good price.

I have no idea what the hull weighs. It is light enough for me to pick it up until the motor hits the ground. I'm sure Ty wouldn't mind doing some boats for others.

I just googled 12v led and scrolled through. These are seaworthy brand 4". They aren't as bright as I thought they would be but it does light up the whole boat. I have white ones in each hatch and they are bright enough that I will be able to see everything.

16 + huntdeck. Huntdeck is 24" which I thought was going to be too long but it is perfect once the motor is trimmed up.
