[QUOTE="hezekiah, post: 410991, member: 19726"] Oh man...I have read through your build so many times. You did a great job. I definitely want to put the work into making the outside of my boat look as good as yours next. I actually have a couple of questions for you: After you cleaned the outside up, how does it deal with oxidation? That's the biggest problem I seem to have on my hull, is oxidation - and from what I've read...you're never going to get rid of it. In your forum you say you have the original drain plug...what type of plug is it? I bought a brass plug from a hardware store. It doesn't fit quite right, but I wrap some plastic around it before I screw it in and it seems to do the job. How fast did it go with your 15 hp on it? How fast does it go with your 30 now? I have a 30 HP as well...pushes me 26-30 MPH...fully loaded...depending on conditions. I checked out the Model 15 ad on your forum. I will have to measure the beam of my boat again when I get home, but I'm pretty sure it's a 60" beam. If I remember correctly, all of the dimensions of my boat match up exactly to the challenger. I will definitely double check it now that I have another model to compare it to. Thanks for the reply - keep up the great work on the boat. [/QUOTE]
