Bob McKay Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 I am considering building an Outer Banks 20. Any words of wisdom? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stewart Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi Bob, Well i think you are very wise to consider building one in the first place! Know that you'll have plenty of support from us here on the forum. I would checkout the dutch OB 20 build thread for a step by step guide on best practices. -Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keen2buildagain Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi Bob, I can vouch for the OB-20's style, performance and all round fine sea keeping ability. I have used mine in the creeks, across the bay and around Magnetic island (just off shore from home). With Grahams blessing and advice, I ended up putting a 70hp on mine and with 6 people in it, will sit on 20 knots @ 3900-4100 RPM (depending on sea conditions). Other 20Ft glass boats have 150 Hp upwards on them. For my use in the waters around Townsville, she has turned out to be a great boat and a real head turner at the ramp. My advice???? just do it!
