    VIDEO - Inline 6 Ripping on a Home-built Wood Boat

    Last run of morning on Lake Crescent. Getting practice with the new Hot Foot, wanted to video the engine to get a feel for how much trim is being used, just a tick under 5 degrees above neutral in this video. Maxed out at 5800 rpm, 24" small eared chopper.

    Boat: 14'10" planked in Mahogany and Maple
    Engine: 1980 140 power head, short shaft, 1.78:1 gears, prop shaft 2.75" below pad

    Outstanding!

    Gorgeous rig and Rips!
    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.

    I purchased the engine complete. I believe the 1980 ADI power head is stock, the short shaft and 1.78:1 gears could be considered performance mods. I suspect the best parts from a number of donor engines were used in the assembly.

    I designed/built a bunch of kneel down boats back in the day and a couple of dinghies for recent cruisers we owned.
    Heres pixs of the last one.

    I think I saw 72 on your video?
