Howdy folks;
Just dropping a line to update you on my progress. Had fun building the
short fore deck and painting. Now to lengthen the trailer and pull the
boat on to it. Then I will mount the motor install the mechanical &
electrical, build floor boards and cabin. I think I will test run it in
about three weeks.

Tryout time
On plane at 12mph
Turns ok, slides a little, but not bad.
Yahoooo!
33mph at half throttle
Ok, it works! Now to build the wheel house.
Thank you Glen-L It works better than I had hoped. And lots of room in her. Soon it will be my floating camper. Oh by the way, At 33mph by the GPS I am burning 4 1/2 gal per hr.
Is that good? It is a rebuilt 90 hp straight six merc. Bob

I will name it the Y-Knott.
Well folks there it is, my baby looks a little ugly but sure handles the rock garden we call a river. I am sure going to miss building her. Maybe I will sell her in 2 years and build another. I think I've got the boat building bug. And it is all your fault. THANK YOU Glen-l
