[QUOTE="Ebug, post: 444649, member: 11893"] Rich, Here's a photo of my little scooter boat when I brought it home. It was purchased knowing it would need a deck and transome....even though the owner and the boat shop swore it didn't need it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="scooter coming home.jpg"]95403._xfImport[/ATTACH] I've included a picture of a 40hp Johnson mounted to give size perspective. These boats are 10' long, 5 wide, and will carry 2 people max. I've heard tell of these boats running in 3”-4” water. I doubt that is two 260lb fellas like myself.

Stumpalump, I hear on the tuning for top speed. I knew I would have to sacrifice a bunch of speed to get the motor up, which is ok for my fishing application. I was surprised at the top speed not taking much of a hit between the 12p and 11p prop. I'm guessing that is due to the high efficiency of the application specific PT scooter prop. Rob [/QUOTE]
