Is this the same as the Honcho bass boat. Pretty cool rig- never was around them but all ways thought it was cool.

I'll put some bottom pix up later today. Everything in the pix I've posted so far has a total weight of 1620lb. I was bummed about that...I can't imagine the trailer with the spare would weigh much over 600lb if that.

Wonder who mounted the speedo pickup?

[rgsauger]

Interesting boat! I would think it would need a bunch of HP to really loosen up and roll.

Not me, pickup was already there when I got her lol! Poor old girl has had a lot of monkey motion done to her over the years, she's an 1981. I'm going to put a 2.0l 150 on it. I got the 150 off a Laser LTV I bought...LTV is for sale 1500.00 delivered within 200mi of Wichita Ks.

I'm putting a 2.0l 150 on her, wish I had a 200. Guess I could bump the comp and have someone port it. I'd really like to be in the 70mph range.

Can you post pictures and condition of your LTV

Can you post pictures and condition of your LTV

LTV is going to need transom, floor and seats, surprisingly stringers are ok. Deck can be wet sanded and shot with clear, trailer is in good shape it's an OKT.

Would you guys call this a tunnel or a catamaran?

[OnPad]

I would call it a tunnel. When I think catamaran, it would be a sail boat, or long narrow offshore powerboat, but you can call it whatever you want, and wouldn't be wrong.

Regarding your LTV. You can never have too many boats. They aren't real easy to find, and probably would be worth more in the long run. Might also be easier to achieve your 70mph goal. I enjoy fishing also, and fish off the front deck of my LTV.

I bought the LTV from the son of the original owner, his dad said it ran 88 and his mom said no 78 lol. I think they are both being extra generous! Haha
