LOL my Dad had some little wood boat that would sink if you didn't start going as soon as you put it in the water. Had way to much motor on it.

Get some floatation pods and put them on the back if it does.

awesome thread and the boat looks great. subscribing.

Isn't that concept a lot narrower than most of the other actions ? I have an 86 motion(action copy) and a friend of mine has Beefs old action and an original 17 sitting right next to it. I also have a beat up old concept sitting in my yard. The concept just looks much smaller than all of the other actions I have around me

I am sure the concept will work fine with the looper v6 but it is a pretty small boat. I'm not sure it will be a forgiving as the other actions that are being discussed here. The only thing that looks as narrow as the concept is an old 16 action that is running around key largo another guy has down here.

Thats it, rub salt in my gaping wound, HAHA. No I'm not done, its pretty time consuming and only getting to work on it a few hrs a week doesnt help, and I'm doing by myself. I'm hoping to get it finished faster having it at home. I've pretty much got all the parts, Great things take time.
