[QUOTE="Salty Dawg, post: 258287, member: 8498"] Thanks for the welcome. I elected not to add supports and floorboards in order to keep the weight to a minimum and reduce the draft just a bit as I go into very skinny water to fish..... mostly under a foot. I can get into places that the heavier fiberglass rigs can't. The reduced weight in turn aids speed. I cruise at 25 and top out at 29. I run a 9.25"X11" 4 blade Solas prop, and the motor is raised 1 1/2" without cavitating. [size=5][b]This is one of the thin places that I fish in and catch Seatrout and Redfish.[/b][/size] [ATTACH type="full" alt="015.JPG"]36644._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0022.JPG"]36645._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
