75 horse should move that girl along nicely. Looks like you might be thinking about a little fishing as well, DON'T forget the crab traps.

Looks like you're almost ready to give em hell Lorne! Now the long wait...
1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?

Are you gonna also get some Salmon with that arc Lorne?? Sweet boat! The 75 horse should do you pretty good.
How stable is the boat on a plane?? If you get a wabble, look into some hydraulic or even electric trim tabs... or you can even just throw on leg fins, which even out the torque from the prop to a more horizontal figure.

Heres a video on its maiden after i added about 400 lbs of ballast and stabilizer fins. She was pretty skittish at first, when i was by my self no ballast she was doing 38 mph and sliding around a bit. Almost flipped her straight up out of the hole. Its gets on plane in about 2 seconds. With people, ballast and gear she is a dream rig and does around 27. I always harassed the buddy that took the video that he was scared of a 16 foot boat with a new 75 on it. hahaha thats where the song came from.

That is pretty darn quick, she sits perfectly on the plane, looks like the 75 certainly knows how to wake up and go!

That's a sweet ride!!! Good video. Flat bottomed skiffs can haul a ton of cargo. That will make a great waterfowling, crabbing, fishing combo. Congrats.
Keep posting up your progress with her.

So our fields are a bust for this weekend, and its too freaking hot to hunt furry things, so today as the day i decided to paint the boat. Still needs a few touch ups but not bad. 6 spray cans of rustloeum flat grey for the inside and the dark over the grey on the outside and 1 gallon of rust paint flat light grey oil based water restistant primer as a base coat for the outside!
Blind gets built is next weekend.
