Your boat is looking very tidy now, obviously took your time and no shortcuts !!
Yea just stainless self tappers and bonded with sikaflex

Hi

How did this go?
Where did you end up in terms of max speed and revs and what prop did you end up with?

I'm thinking about going for the same engine (almost got the wife convinced) so just curious

Lack of optimistic vision.
Nothing's been thrown at me, so we're half way there.

Get it bought.

I'm embarrassed tying alongside that Honda thing.

After that, suspension seats ala breezy
