This is just a prime example of a bad layup, the gelcoat was most likely not thick enough also/or did not properly cure and left to many air-voids. Very lucky that you guys caught it when it did, because that boat was going to delaminate for sure. I have seen bottoms completely fall off of the hull, Just when you think you have seen everything there is a new one out there to catch you by surprise. Steel nails holding the floor to the stringers does not surprise me one bit. How about cut up shipping pallets stapled together and used for stringers with a layer of woven roven over them?

My boat had the stringers screwed to the core with sheetrock screws. Some of the crap these boat builders do never cease to amaze us. I have heard stories of one of the crappier center console fishing boats built using steel fence piping as deck supports. The pipe ended up breaking itself out of the hull. Unbelievable....

This is some pretty funny stuff right there. Would probably make a great thread with stuff like this if there were enough pictures. Unfortunately i don't have any of Bobs boat.

Hey Chris. Pretty funny. Hey am I lying about Bobs boat or what? You saw the bottom of it didn't you? As I remember you could see it from 10 feet away, and other than that he always kept it perfect. I never kept my stuff as clean as him.

Wish I thought it was funny back then, haha. I loved Jim's Velocity when he got it with the V8. So I buy basically the same setup. Then he comes up to Sacandaga to boat with me and his boat went by me like I was standing still. Real funny! Lol. I think he had me by like 13MPH. I bought the Second Effort V8 too. Maybe it needed even more effort, haha.
I remember the first day I got this boat in November. Took it to the river with my friend Gary. It only did like 65 the first trip. I was like WTF! Then it was so cold we hit a thin layer of ice for a couple hundred feet, haha. It was like glass out there! Lol.Last edited by BigJohnson; 02-07-2013 at 08:26 AM.

Heres a question? Im goin from a 1.75 fleetmaster on a 250xs to a 1.62 torquemaster on a 300xs.I was currently running a 25p solas/Yamaha t-1 copy at 6150-6200.The 300xs will have a Dbr 1.1 kit on it prior to installing it.I believe taht would take it to roughly 330hp.I have no want to spin a 3.0 liter over 6400,I just dont see the point.Do you think this 25p will be to much.I have never run 1.62 gears.
