[QUOTE="murphy67, post: 466334, member: 21244"] Thanks, its nice to see all the work start to come together, plus it helps stay motivated knowing how much is still left :) lol As for how the back end sits in the water with the 4 stroke...I guess I do not have a comparison to how it sits with a 2 stroke, but with this 15HP its been pretty good/normal. We have had the motor on this boat for quite a few years and never had any concern with it being too much power or too heavy. I am pretty sure my model is the T-14S, which is rated for a 20Hp..so I think we are prob at max motor weight (assuming a 4 stroke 15hp is about the same as a 20hp 2 stroke.) Now of course the real test will be how the motor moves the boat with the added weight of the wood/etc, but it should be a fun little boat and I think it will still zip pretty good. :) (i got 3 weeks til this goes up north and we run it...so soon I will know for sure.)
