Can't you shave weight off the engine? Lighten everything! rotating Assam there is usually a lot of meat that can be taken of the block heads flywheel starter etc. it's time consuming but heck you already have a ton of time in the build

I think the mota is brandy-new and giving the baby a good shave may void the warranty....also movin the battery and fuel forward would make way more since time and money wise with more results. JMO

Hit the nail on the head - - - Well, going to Doc's today to find out if it's a boy or a girl... Then playing on the jetski all afternoon (Playin Hooky from work). I'll be back at working on this thing Tuesday due to stormy weather the rest of this week.

Hey Tunnel, just out of curiosity how far is the driver seat from the tansom on your build?

I have been building a boat for the last 5 years or so. Very similar to yours. 14'6" and my seat is right at 7' to the front side of my back rest.

My motor is going to weigh in about 250lbs.

a lot less than yours lol. Only about 30" or so. Few more inches for seat foam, few more inches for the motor jack plate.

How has it been performing at speed with most your weight in the rear?
