Cool little boat, your build actually got me interested in this forum! What part of the state are you in? I'm just east of Des Moines.

Hey Justin.. I lived in Ankeny but just moved to Pleasantville last fall..... Have you posted your build yet? I will have to check it out

Not yet, I'm waiting till I drag it out of the barn when it warns up. Parking my jeep in the garage is first priority in these iowa winters lol.

Sounds like we are on opposing sides of Red Rock since I'm in Prairie City.

Hey all.. a little FYI,
I did it... I found me a little gem on the internet... I heard stories about these but I finally found one.... Last week (Feb 2, 2015) I just bought me a brand new, 2006 25hp Yamaha 2 stroke Remote with a 2 year warranty. I found it in a Dealer in Oregon who bought out another marina and found 2 of them in their inventory.... $2,200 bucks! Anyway, its going on my 1248 weldbilt and then on my 1552 Weldcraft when I get it.



They may have one left if anyone wants it
