Paul356 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Gotta say, that looks pretty enticing when I look out the window and see the yard in snow and look at the thermo-meter and see 21.2 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Silsbe Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Very fine work! If I were building a powerboat, this would be the one. Yes, she has lovely lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup glassed with 10 oz cloth then hit it a couple times with resin and a drywall knife to fill the weave. Finished with marine paint with the non slip business in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Well it got wet today, only took me 6 months to do it LOL. Pics are not great as they were taken from the deck by my step mom on her phone but the general idea is there. Boat ran very well in my mind, gets a little slippery in the turn but i think that might be due to the fact that right now it has a 13" prop on it for the maiden voyage. not very good numbers due to tiny prop. 3200 rpm it planned out at 18 knots. 4000 rpm 21knots and 5200 30knots. Now i have run it for 4 or 5 hrs i will go to the motor riggers with those numbers and come back with a proper prop and will get some far better numbers i think. All in all was fun and the boat ran great 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
