We are going to need to calculate how much weight needs to be added to your big power rig... you better get then thing shortened up "nobody wants to run a case that low you manatee hater" Kamala is already talking about not letting us use anything other then plastic (eco friendly) propellers on our electric boats...

Couple boat holes up no sealant needed all aluminum. We got in a little trouble prop testing at night in a manatee zone before a race in Cape Coral i the 90's over the Manatee thing ,fortunately Bill Westbury SPIRT OF HOUSTON got us of the hook by speaking up with Coast Gaurd / Press and city officials at the drivers meeting saying he heard they were good on the barbecue took all the heat off us.Love the Texas attitude.

We should make a tin boat thread. Mine is a '74 Starcraft with a '79 100 Javelin. The only time I put the GPS on it was with 18 gal of fuel, a case of beer in an ice chest and 450# people. Ran a touch over 48 mph, plus it gets great mileage. It bobs like a cork in the rough. I had it out in Lake Maurepas when a squall blew up. Swells were big enough you would loose sight of the shore when in the bottom. Didn't get a drop inside.

Next stop is in the shop to put all new wood in it.

Committed boating again today. Balmy 39 degrees. It may be my last rip with this boat in Cheeseland.

I cheated and wore a snowmobile helmet. What I was NOT expecting is my hands to be so cold that i could not use the touchscreen on the simrad....

I also had a really nice mustang float jacket.
