decided to get her on the water as soon as possible. I will get her running and determine how shallow will I be able to go. She drafts about 6 inches still need to add the floor, console and motor, i'm fixing to install a 98 Yamaha 115. I might give her a try with a cmc lift to see how shallow she handles ,, will be posting pics of floor soon.
 
Hello,

Did have her on the water to check for any possible leaks before setting floor. Primed only bottom of boat,will not paint under floor. I was just trying to lay some kind of protective barrier. Floor will be primed and painted white also,, console if next,,,

Beast of a boat bro. Nice find, all that hard work will be worth it once you're yanking lips on the water! Keep the pics coming! I built a center console also, take a look it might give you some ideas.
 
couple more pics, console was not bolted it was fastened with 1 1/2 self tapping screws. Do you guys think it will hold up. Aluminum is like 1/8 inch thick. What do you guys think about location of console. should I had placed it a little more forward?

Fixing to drop this motor,,
115 Yamaha V4 1998 I believe,
what is your opinion. Does anyone have a similar motor. It is premix, not the precision blend.

The rails on the front of that hull sure add some nice lines.

How long before you take here for a spin?

Maybe couple more weeks. Im waiting for my hydraulic steering to come in. Depending on how shallow she handles i will probably
End un getting her a jackplate.
 
Hello,

Finally got her in the water.. Boat handled really well ,water was a little rough but still managed to test the outboard. Over all it handled very well. 115 Seems to be more that enough power . Alarm did go off while on plane . might be water pick up. Also I noticed that when trying to move in reverse boat had very little bite and tended to splash lots of water over the transom. I believe a anti ventilation plate or cavitation plate might solve the problem. Did run boat longer but at less throttle and alarm didn't go off again,,,

will keep you all posted

That's good news! Boat looks awesome. I can't help but think about all that room on that bow for a spider rig!
 
hello

down here in the lower laguna madre we do a lot of drift fishing. will keep posting pics, still to come is the cavitation plate, and some storage for the inside of boat.
 
Dude that's a sick build. I've always loved those big aluminum rigs! Can't wait to get mine down to the madre!

Boats in the shop getting a tunnel and raising transom and a rear deck. Front tower and leaning post are in the works. Axious to see how shallow she will handle..
