I bought this boat almost two years ago from a board member on PB. Right off the bat a changed the gauges, added hydraulic steering, among a few other things. I ran the boat a whopping 3 weekends and then slowly started this build this time last year.

The trailer has been completely restored in house at WOT Marine, we shortened it, lowered it, added the Kat walk, wider fenders, LED lights, and adjusted the bunk placement to better support the boat, and painted it.

I stripped the boat down and left it with Kevin at KMG. He filled a bunch of holes, added some knee braces tying the transom to the stringers, finished the bilge, painted the cap and deck, and re gel-coated the bottom. These are the only pictures I have. I will pick the boat us next week I'm STOKED!!!

Pick the boat up today!!!!! KMG did all the glass work,body,work and paint. Pictures don't do it justice boat looks great!


Current ideas I'm debating
Hydraulic or manual jack plate
Observer seat fixed, or or on a swivel
Drivers seat fixed or on a slide.
Trim taps or not.

I'm open to feedback.

Looks Awesome!!
Driver seat fixed, throttle pedal on a slide maybe?
Observer swivel
Fixed motor mounts, set back and raised
With tabs

Don't ask why about the motor mounts and tabs, that's the way the guys wanted them when I used to make them. I don't know the "science" behind that.
