Thanks for the replies. The cavitation plate sits about 1-1 1/2 inches below the bottom of the hull, I will get a better measurement tonight. I was thinking of putting a 3/4-1 inch spacer on top of the transom to raise it up a little. Yes, I do think that originally it was tilted to far and...

Hello everyone. I have a build going on another forum and am close to the end. My question is setting up the outboard angle initially. When I bought the boat and ran it last summer she seemed to plow a bit before getting on plane, only got to about 22 mph yet acted like she wanted to go more...

Finishing touches still, little things take time. I do have a question about the outboard angle. I never have set up an outboard so advice is welcome. When I bought the boat, the motor was set up on the angle shown in the one picture, one hole higher than middle. It ran about 22 mph, plowed...

Easy for you to say down there in Katy. Hows Conroe fishing now a days? We have snow forcast in the mountains around us, only one lake nearby is open year round to fish. At least one that doesnt freeze over.

Looks very nice. Deck came out good.

Good luck and do not get frustrated. Removing the paint sucks. I got most of mine off with stripper first.

Almost done. Most difficult part was putting the bow numbers on, a little crooked. Need to register it early as the stickers I took off that are still valid wont stick. A few odds and ends left to do such as gunwale braces, rod holders, trying to decide if I want to put a rear sear in to control...

Thank you and you're welcome. If you have specific questions, please feel free to ask.

Lots of little things happening. Nothing major to take pictures of. All the decking installed but one piece which is left off to make final wiring connections easier. Seat bases bolted in place, compartment doors have last coat of sealant drying, bow/stern light wired in. Fish finder almost...

Looks good. Spring will be here sooner than we think. Though we've had 2-3" of snow today.

Your vynal looks good though. Finished all the carpet except for storage lids. I will tackle those tomorrow, cutting to size, sealing, carpet. While they dry I will run all my wire, cut the foam out so the cup holders sit down. The end takes the longest, little things.

Carpet sure is a pain. And once the plywood is cut to size using scrap carpet as spacers, cutting another 1/8" off wouldn't hurt. Some of the pieces are tight fit now. Ran out of spray adhesive, only have the front deck, main lower decks left to wrap the carpet edges and secure. At this rate...

Very nice looking. I like how clean it is.

Looks nice. Good and solid.
