Pretty, I'd go with the flat floor though and screw it down so you can pull it when you poke a hole in it (think positive, it will happen eventually)

I was gonna take some photos of the boat, After i did the video and manage 1 pic, My internal memory was full, Not the first time I forgot the memory card at home.. :evil:

 

[jbakerinc]

not too bad. imo. 8)

I really don't have a clue on the speed. This is a stock 9.9 with a 9.25x10 prop that is damaged to say the least, Looking for a new one now, gonna swap to a 8 pitch.

Yea it pushes the gaint pretty good , It looks kinda funny with that big ol' boat and that tiny engine.

Lucky you. I got scammed for a chainsaw about a month ago and I'm still waiting on a refund or some further word from law enforcement. I'd like to get my hands on that guy just for a minute or two.

Boat is looking incredible by the way. =D> That motor pushes it pretty darn well.

 

[Bugpac]

Thanks Bulldog, Maybe i can get around to getting some numbers on it, I have only had them a week, lol.

 

[Bugpac]

Gonna try it again, hope to be putting a lowrance 522c igps on the boat first of the week. Purchased it this evening. Probably better with the lowrance than the eagle anyhow, virtually same money. Bulldog, hope you recover your funds.

Gps'd the boat today, with the new 8 pitch prop, on the gas engine i seen 8.7, on the 109 bow mount Mg i seen 4.4.

Well last night i found a 94 johnson 15hp electric start on craigslist, I was on my way to work this am and the guy emailed back, so needles to say i was late to work, and now own a 94 johnson 15 electric start. Put it on the boat when i got home, changed the lower unit oil and the prop and headed for the lake. The nexy guy that comments on here that you barely notice a power difference in a 15 vs a 10 I am going to have my way with. 15 is 50% more power. and i doubled my speed, i think the 9.9 did 8.7 and the 15 gps at 15.5. Dont forget my bare hull weighs 700lbs, plus 300 battery's, 270 me, 100 motor and 100 t motor. 1500 lbs doing 15+ is pretty **** good i think. I got some pics and a video ill post in a bit.

 

[Bugpac]

had to mask the 15 and i got some old tin boat stickers.

Much better =D>

 

[cavman138]

Great boat. That 15 pushes it a lot better than the 9.9. Can't wait to see how you build that beast out. You have a lot of room to really work with her.

 

[Bugpac]

I get 15.5 solo and 12.5 with a 180 lb passenger. I think i can move some stuff around a bit, maybe add a jack plate and pick up some more.

 

[JonBoatfever]

do you still have the 9.9, also any updates?

How do you like this unit? I just got the same one and I like it so far. I think I may have mounted my transducer too high as it will not register the fish finder at speed.
