Very nice job man! That looks sweet. Also Is that motor an 8hp? If it is, how does it push you along?

Yes it's an 8 HP and I checked it with my gps the other day on it's maiden voyage as a red neck basstracker with just me in the boat and it did 8 to 9 mph. Still would not plane out all the way but much better than before the mods. Now that I proved it will still float maybe someone will go with me. I would like to see how it does with another person sitting closer to the front.
 
I almost forgot thanks for the nice coments guys and for all the ideas from the members of this board.

I'm close and now after working two weeks of summer camp I am off work, so if you want somebody to go let me know.
 
Nice rig. I've love to have one of those 24ftrs with a center console and jack plate... I could go on and on... :p

Waterwings,

Guist creek is in Shelbyville.

Thanks Joe but it may be a while getting ready to go on the family vacation.

No problem... getting ready for family vacation as well. One of my baseball players and former student's family let us use their lake house a couple of times a year.... so I am headed to Nolin Lake from June 19 to July 9th. Just let me know if you ever want some company.
