Re: DE 27.5
Hi Tom,
Looking for 30 MPH tops +-. I don't think the boat is designed for much more than that.
I plan on cursing between 20 and 23 MPH.
Thanks for your help.

Re: DE 27.5
Thanks for the input on weighing the boat.
One problem I have is I don't have a trailer for it, and do not plan on purchasing one.
I like your way of estimating the weight. I am trying to get close to pick the correct motor power.
Thanks

Re: DE 27.5
Has anyone ever weighed their boat using a hydraulic jack with a pressure gage. I would support the boat at three points, and take the weight at these points, sum it up to get the total. The reason I want to do this now is to get a better idea on motor size now so I can start talking to the dealers ...

Re: DE 27.5
I was able to install the windows today. Starting to look more like a boat. They let a lot of light into the cabin.
