Miyot Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Wow, very nice. Post some performance numbers when you can. How much fuel will she carry and where are your tanks. Excellent paint job. Quote
Russ Tinsley Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 She carries 2 30 gal. tanks in the belly, first trip last night was over proped, engine only turned 4800 RPM was running 42 MPH, wil post more pix & info. later Quote
Miyot Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Which compartments are your fuel tanks in. Did you use the aft most compartment, just forward of the aft bulkhead. Or did you put a tank in the one just forward of the console. Wondering just where I should put mine. Quote
Dale Niemann Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Is that an Evenrude Etec on her? If so, I would be interested in why you chose that engine. I am still debating which engine to get for my Marissa 'Salty'. That is assuming I ever finish her. dale Quote
Russ Tinsley Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 The aft comparment is a insulated fish box, the compartment in front of it lies a 30 gal tank sitting on top of that is another tank nup into console, its a 175 Johnson I just had it, so thats why I used it, I will see if I can find pix of Tanks Quote
jared85 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Did you ever get this running right? With a 175 you should have been over 50. Quote
Jay Lancaster Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 I have to wonder why no intermediate bumpers? Quote
Russ Tinsley Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 have not changed prop yet, really no need to she crusies very nice like it is, bumpers just liked the way it look without them, may add teak later Quote
Jay Lancaster Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 If you dock or slip much, you'll miss the intermediates. Pack along plenty of poly bumpers... Quote
Oyster Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Dale.boat building is much like laying brick for a brick house, one piece at a time. Pretty soon it will be done. [Frank if you are reading this, the quote feature is not working, at least for me.] Quote
tengaugemag2204 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Rustyreel Your boat turned out looking great!! The black bottom paint looks good on there. Do you have any pictures of your console area? Running 50 that's awesome!!!! So far are you pleased with the performance of the boat? Handling and so on.... Take care Matt Quote
