[QUOTE="HickInTheSticks, post: 390316, member: 18253"] Thanks man, put a whole lot of sweat into this thing. It's not completely done, but 95%. Had it out in the water today for the first time with my Merc 6.... I gotta say, that little motor really took me by surprise the first time I opened the throttle up. Actually pulls pretty hard.... can't seem to find a way to lock the motor in the downward position, I have to be very careful in Reverse.. full throttle will pull the motor out of the water haha. Boat floats well with everything where it is. Need the passengers to be off the deck (except for sitting closest to the rear) to help the nose come up a bit, else I get massively sprayed. Turning out to be a great 1-2 man boat, though. Just need to finish electrical.... all of the wires have been run, I just wanted to make sure it'd float the way I wanted before permanently installing everything. No problems whatsoever, so its all getting installed where planned. [/QUOTE]
