[QUOTE="andy409, post: 421414, member: 21579"] Continued progress being made and I had the chance to take the boat out and take one of my friend and his kid out fishing for the very first time. Initial assessment is that the boat is better balanced on plane due to the heavier bow weight. Previously, outboard, gas, batteries, and 2 people made the stern too heavy. On the flip side, however, its starting to cavitate slightly at WOT and I am thinking hydrofoil/caviation plate will help with the issue. On the fabrication side the cooler rack/rod holder is almost done and all that remains is to prep and paint. I wanted to design the lightest rack possible, and as a result, you can lift the entire thing with only a pinky!
