Custom built wave knocker on the bow...I don't see how he'll see where he's going in a seated stern position. Can't tell the HP on that motor. Looks underpowered considering carrying 500 lbs of fuel. I applaud the effort tho...lol.
Tri-toon with a performance package. Very few aluminum deck boats anymore. They transformed into tri-toons. A few builders still offer them in catalogs but no doubt you'd have to special order. I haven't seen one at a boat show in 10 years.
If you're wanting a non-structural project I would look for something much newer that wasn't winterized right. Fiberglass wood encased boats that are 30 years old and have been sitting in the water is far too risky. Even though you do say it's been sitting in a covered slip...that's good...but...
That is my goal also. This may indeed be my last season with the I/O but I've got to get things lined up to make it happen. Gonna be hard to sell with 1,700 hours. But I'm high jacking the OP's thread...what say ye muskyfins?
I've owned the single point drain for 22 years and enjoy the ease of use in fall and spring. However, my boating is all in fresh clear water. If i was in salt or muddy sandy conditions I would be leery of it for the reasons mentioned above. The more you use the system the better...keeps thing...
Great! I guess batteries are becoming like light bulbs. I'm trying to keep up lol. If I've been using a Diehard lead acid 24M/800 CCA/1000 CA with great results what would be an equivalent in a Lifepo4?
When you changed the impeller did you get the key back on the driveshaft? The hose will force water up to some extent but without the impeller turning it won't be enough.
