The 20’s are painted and one is assembled and installed.
Second one is in process.
Switched back to turning props out too.
At 25”, w/plates full up, I was even w/bottom.
Now I’ll be approx up 2”.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Nice job! Like the vents, paint looks great. Did you mean fingerport?
Question: will the seastar hit the splashwell when you trim up? Asking for a friend

Thank you sir!
Much appreciated.
Its probably as close to perfect as it will get while I own it.
I always focus on functionality over cosmetics on my projects and this one is the same.
If I had the time/money, I’d strip to bare hull and have the whole thing blocked/buffed and then you’d have something.
I sold my second twin OB 24’ Sonic after running out of things to improve!
As far as a functional, real cuddy cabin, that is fast and attractive, it would be tough to beat.
We use our cuddies as true weekenders and this one does very well at that side.
I have the parts to build a pair of modded 3.3 powerheads and if I took a summer to test my wall of props…., you’d probably have a 90 mph rocket!
Thanks again!

Not enough!
Two Friday - Sunday Lake Erie trip, one overnighter on the local pond and two day trips.
I built it for Lake Erie and has been in a snotty mod the last few seasons
Oh and, two days on the Suwanee River and one day on the Intracoastal between Vero Beach and Melbourne.
That trip, between hurricanes!
