    I know that Doug Wright did some serious mods to the bottom of JPEROG's rig.

    Doug did the bottom on the 15' which has a 15" 115 opti on it (runs 60). The boat is sold and going to Vegas (less motor). The 17 montauk that Kevin has been working on is one that I did for my dad and it has a 130 yamaha (totally stock bottom). I have an 18' outrage that is almost done and is getting a diesel jet pac bolted to the transom. I also have a 17 Newport that might turn into a vintage resto-mod some day-there is a 15" 200XS that would push it pretty good and I will have bottom mods completed if it comes to life. Dave Driefort had the hod rod 17 with 2.5 on it and ran around 80.

    Funny you guys are talking whalers. I just got my molds out to make a 17'er into a fully decked out flats boat. My sons bud has a boat and wants to customize it. Teaching the wax on, wax off routine. Prep of all materials. get ready for the gell coat and morning run of glass. He's excited to do his 1st glass job on his own boat.

    I ran an old carbed b-port merc on a 17'er I had. Did have stern mounted livewells for more stability and a bobs 5'' jackplate. 27p 4 blade trophy. Ran good. Not flighty at all. Picked up the bow and hauled azz. Might have hit 70-75.

    No argument from me.
    Was fuzzy on #s.

    I can tell you that my 13’ at 48 knew if ther was a head wind ��
    Would have been an easy blow over.

    Honestly, I could never own a Boston Whaler, just not me at all. Never has been. Only reason I ever even thought about padding an old 16 with a Merc V-6, would be to demonstrate to my younger brother, who's a sailboat'n, Whaler love'n, never been in any type of fast boat type of guy, what's actually possible. And I know he would love it. Agree that the bottom would need more than simply a pad, to be safe at speed.

    Figured out a couple of tricks on shop heat for those that were asking.

    Installed my second identical King electric heater and love this one too.

    One issue is that when the heating element shuts off, then the fan, the coils then reheat the unit and it’s thermostat so the rest of the shop drops 5* before the heater fires.

    Im still using my salamander to bring the shop up to temperature and it does the same thing.

    I cured it by installing auxiliary fans behind both heaters that stay on after the heaters shut off.
    Works great and does two things.

    Blows the residual heat out of the heater into the shop where it does some good but mainly, as it blows the heat off the element, cooling it and forcing the thermostats to react.

    Also installed two ceiling fans to replace the multiple fans I had scattered around in both shops.
    They are a huge improvement!
    W/them running I now have temps in far end of shop, 56’ from heater, reading within 2* of t.stat on heater.

    Ceiling fans are the trick! Takes the rising hot air and shoves it back down. Other wise, any floor fan heat will just blow it around and then rises. I got 12 foot ceilings, and a 1/2 way around loft for storage. It gets hot up there with the wood stove cooking!

    No offense but those fans IS UGLY! There should be a sensor (klixon) that controls fan on-off in the unit. Why not change them out with a larger spread? Or an adjustable?

    "During the summer you want the fan to blow air straightdown, so your ceiling fan needs to run in a counter clockwise direction as you look up at it. The warmer it is, the higher the speed should be. During the winter, yourfan should run at a low speed in a clockwise direction."
