ty yea ole lady and i took it on current river last Sunday full gear and us two it went 23-25 mph which i thought was good for a 30hp. ill take pics of it in the water and a video or two of everything this weekend when i take it out again.

pics of the build: back flooring used pvc pipe along with the ribs in the boat and put insulation foam made for a very solid back floor little messy already needs cleaned lol boat motor trailer and everything i put in it cost about 2 grand what u guys think?

so what are the plans for the inside of the boat 32inch wide may be a little narrow to put a deck in might end up spending all ur time fighting to stay balanced. or u can put a floor in it with plywood or i seen someone just lay down rubber matting at the bottom and it looked really good

hello fellow Arkansas native. good luck on the boat. looks like a mouse found a good home in that foam same thing happened to me.
