https://www.instagram.com/chronically_aware/?hl=en i have videos and pics on my instagram , so far the boats been awesome,... i get allot of compliments. top speed 23 mph alone with the winds help, or 21-22 mph average
launching the boat is very easy, and so is trailering it
thats good advice!
also yeah the pvc pipe in the boat / the boat stands that go in the boat to keep the cover slightly elevated and angled so water runs off will work.
i had to ghetto rig some stands inside my boat when it was otside and it kept the water out. but everything else i tried...
thanks! im so excited! lol i just took it out on the withlacoochee river today with my mom and dad.. first time ever launching a boat / using tiller outboard and man was it awesome... i took my time, launched it everything went perfect. i got a 55 pound thrust newport vessels trolling motor...
