Can't say enough good things about her :D She has carried us safely for a few thousand miles, everything still working perfectly. Got a lot more places to go yet too!

Yamaha 70 2 stroke
Prop 13X17 stainless 3 blade
Top speed light- 38 mph 5900 rpm Heavy 34 mph
Cruise 28 mph 4400 rpm
Plane 18 mph

I would suggest the spray rails in the plans, big ones :wink: I didn't and she will douse you in the face on a sporty day going to weather :lol: That was my fault, not hers, and when she ever gets repainted she will get spray rails too. Other than that, she is a fine a seaworthy boat. Great in shallow creeks but good in the ocean too if the weather is reasonable.
