Re: C17 in New Zealand.
Finished and ready for fitting out, I'll be putting another coat of paint on as soon as I sand out some runs and drips. But from a distance it does not show, and that's fine.
Getting it around the house was a mission. But there was enough room. I made sure of that before I started building.
In the water this summer ready or not!

Re: C17 in New Zealand.
I assume your summer which means you have till March or so. The boat looks good. Tom

Re: C17 in New Zealand.
OneWayTraffic I would be glad to run the numbers through my prop calculator as I have done for many years and others here on the forum. Let me know the know the weight of the boat as it would leave the dock with people, gear and ice. Then what motor you have put on her. I have specs on all new motors and all older motors going back 20 years or so. This will kick out the ideal prop for your boat.

Re: C17 in New Zealand.
The 60hp E-tec I've already got has an Aluminium prop already. I'll see how it performs first. I'm not sure what the pitch and size are to be honest, but I'll have a look sometime.
Re: C17 in New Zealand.
Okay OWT I have the specs up for your 60HP ETEC and will wait for your initial test runs to see if you need to change the prop. With your motor you want top speed rpm's at 58-6000's for that motor.OneWayTraffic wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 1:22 pm The 60hp E-tec I've already got has an Aluminium prop already.

Hopefully not. NZ has intense sun, but the temperatures usually stay moderate all year round.
