My son Zach and I just started a little voodoo project. Hes 12 and bought the hull on his own. I'll help him with a little motor and we will work on it together!

Let the games begin!!
whats in the plans for power?
theres a wealth of knowledge on here and in your area when it comes to set up for your Voo Doo.
what part of Muskoka do you call home?

Down town Severn Bridge lol. Your from Gravenhurst I see? We just found a nice little 30 Yamaha. I think that would make a great start?!

**FMP** · 10-25-2018, 05:03 PM

I've seen one around me with a 40 maybe a 50 Yamaha can't remember, seemed to run well. Calm days.

**MarkStein** · 10-25-2018, 05:13 PM

Ya hes only 12 so I really want to eas into it

**58Evinrude** · 10-25-2018, 05:26 PM

Gawd, I'm easing my daughter into the sport too....with a 115 on a 16' Sidewinder ��

**FMP** · 10-25-2018, 05:38 PM

Those boats can get tricky I heard. Over 55-60 it demands a good driver. 115 probably won't get you there.

**58Evinrude** · 10-25-2018, 05:45 PM

Sidewinders are evil, I've had 2! The 115 will push it to right around 50. I had a 235 OMC on it for a while, it ran a best of 76 mph GPS.

Welcome aboard! You'll find a lot of support in your area for that boat, a lot of families from Gravenhurst and 6 mile lake run similar boats. Get a few years experience under his belt and sign him up for racing with OPBRA!
