Working on the punch list, but is 99% done. Just little stuff like rubrail inserts, wiring, etc to be completed.

Josh the boat looks great.

What brand of jac-pate did you you use.

That looks like a TSG. Made by some guy there in Florida. It uses a Lenco Troll/n/Tab actuator for motivation. He frequents the gheeno site if you want contact info.

Mate, that looks absolutely bloody beautiful. I've been bustin to see the finished product.

I just logged on to post a couple of photo's of my painted model FS18 and found this. It is an absolute credit to you, love the colour too.

Just got to get those last niggly jobs done and then you'll be able to start using her. Now I suppose, I just have to say, can't wait to see some 'on water' piccies.

Good on ya mate, well done.

Mick.

That is beautiful, Josh

Very nice work. I particularly like the poling platform. Is that custom built?

I'm admiring her like everyone else. Not one silly moment on her. Every detail says fish. I love that poling platform too. Guys are gonna stop and go slack jawed lookin' at her at the ramp.

Stopped and gawked a little himself Dougster

Finally got out with the GPS to get some numbers.

With myself @ 190lbs, dad @ 150lbs, niece @ 50lbs, full cooler and gear I got 24.5 mph WOT in good but not perfect conditions.

Cruised nicely at 20mph.

Couldn't find a place shallow enough to stick it but I know we poled through a few spots that were less than 5".

All in all, pretty pleased.

Thanks for the update Josh. I mentioned before that if I got 25 mph with my 20 hp I'd be happy. Looks like that goal will be met. When mine gets splashed I'll hook up a tiny tach and see if the motor hits the target rpms.

Josh great numbers and super looking boat. Enjoy her and good luck with the fishing.

Josh where did you put the battery? I'm trying to figure out a place for everything!

Thanks.

Yeah, you did an excellent job indeed! I would love to hear more about your opinions about the performance of this boat.
