    My totally uneducated guess is a motor improperly mounted on a boat and that they forgot to sweep the tie wraps from the floor when job was completed.....
    Nice looking flat/fishing cat though.....
    BTW, thank god the mid looks to be very nicely cut......

    From my limited experience they say that to challenge you......
    Never fails you take the bait and of course prove them wrong.....
    Heck, you even make improvements along the way on some poor designs....

    This is a LCB owned by Paul Brown of Browns Performance Marine in Immokalee Florida. He converted his 20" 300xs to a 15" using the factory can and 3 r am trim. The mid modifications are complements of Chaz custom fabrication!

    Thus boat ran just under 90 fully loaded with the family to go fishing. It ran mid 90s light and will run over 100 once the setup has been tweaked!

    Did the additional setback actually make it easier to do? Looks great.

    I love looking at Chaz's welding, wish someone around here was half as talented.
