 Re: New Uncle J 1854 MV
Thank God that Jacob took that project over. That fusken rake made me loose my religion, and hurt my foot when I liked the sides off via frustration. LMAO

 Re: New Uncle J 1854 MV

 Re: New Uncle J 1854 MV
How's it handle the waves?
Is there any "sneezing" effect that you get sometimes on flat bottom? You know, going over waves and having water thrust forward & up, wind hits it then it's in your face etc....

 Re: New Uncle J 1854 MV
I have run some pretty bad waves in this thing. The Res up here where I live in KS gets serious nasty on windy days. I got caught in one the other day. You wont get a drop of water on you unless its getting blown in by the wind which if you are going cross wind in a 25 mph wind you get sprayed pretty good. However you would get srayed in anything in that case. It doesnt pop on waves like a straight flat bottom does. If I could do it over Id have the exact same boat, seriously! Ive also seen no down side to the modv bow in mud so far.
