    Another incredible build-up thread here. Now I know why I created this section of the site. Having all of these posts within easy access for everybody will not only make it very easy for people to find, but also to enjoy long reading sessions, I like I do.

    I was thinking the same thig Greg, i just spent the last hour reading start to finish. Amazing job HMT and thanks for the start to finish pics, it definitely put a foot in my arse for some of my projects that are way less complicated and I keep making excuses for not finishing.

    Thanks Greg!
    Long threads are great when you can see them start to finish - I almost get anxiety when I see threads just starting of people attempting full-restorations.
    If you want to move my restoration on the red boat into this thread too, feel more than welcomed to. The link is in my signature.

    Awesome read. I just read the whole thing from start to finish. Truly a great job. I have restored a boat down to the stringers and put it all together. But never built one from the ground up. I actually had been contemplating a complete build. So, I feel I was meant to find this read. It is encouraging and inspiring. I will try not to take 4 years as well. Again, fantastic project. Enjoy your wife, your baby and your boat(s)......in that order.

    That was a good read so figured I would share some photos of my 14ft Cat that I built. Following "Glen L Jet Cat" plans with some modifications, started building the boat in January of 2018 and finished the build July 2019.
    Attachment 447166Attachment 447167Attachment 447165
    The original plan was to power with Twin Evinrude 60s that I purchased at the boat show however 2 weeks before putting the motors on, i realized that the 2.9:1 gear ratio would not get me speed at all and would require a 28p prop to break 50mph which isnt realistic lol so i had to work out a different deal for the 150 ho.

    This past winter I re-finished the bottom as i quickly realized that the original paint job was not durable at all aha and also added the back bench over the winter.

    Okay, someone is gonna have to explain to me if this is even realistic.... at 68mph the rpm's are in the high 5000's (5800 to 5900, its hard to tell). Now, I went out last weekend and had a 71mph pass.... I thought maybe that was just a glitch on my phone gps but then got 72mph pass. I was stoked but then when I ran the theoretical numbers with my setup (gear ratio: 1.86:1, 24p prop, and 6000rpms) the theoretical top speed is 73mph.... so like is it even possible for me to getting 72mph with a very small prop slip?? or is my phone gps incorrect??

    For starters. I tried many apps on my phone for nautical GPS speed and they just didnt come close to the lowrance on the boat I'm my experiences, I dont trust a phone for speed on water. If u got ur gear ratio correct the slip calculator shows 71 @ 5800 with 24 and 1.86 gear. Guess u rite on it. Ur slip comes in at 0 which isnt rite , only good set up of twins will get that low

    I run a 24 for family prop and at 7k rpm with 7 or 8% slip I'm just at79 80. If u add 5 to 7% slip to ur #s it will cut it down 6-8 mph
    1 more thing to add. My 24 is a 4 blade to so slip # b little lower than a 3 blade, usually neway
