[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 429954, member: 21552"] I didn't read every post in this thread and am not sure why other then a leak in the rivets you didn't leave the original aluminum bottom but that hull does sound like it's adding tons of drag IMO. The ski it came out of (if my numbers are right) ran 53+ and it a god amount heavier then your jon, granted you have more hull touching for drag (wider). Either way she's a nice looking boat and as mentioned anything above 40 in a light boat can get tricky with wind and a wave or two. Enjoy and run hard! [/QUOTE]
