I must like punishing myself

Well the motor fits under the shroud even being jacked up 3 holes. I am in love. The back of the boat is clean of obstruction and I don't have to fight fish around a bracket!

Very nice, the whole project turned out great!

Thank you. Waiting on a set of steering hoses and we will be dunking it

[bobbert]

HI Bill, Still waiting on those hoses or are you having to much fun with that beauty?????

[billythekid]

sorry meant to update, the neutral safety switch was bad in the throttle shifter and I also needed a wedge for the throttle to keep it from hitting the dash. Everything else is complete. I should have it in the water in next couple days.

well finally buttoned up some loose ends and a couple head scratching engine glitches.

the boat floats and it moves along real well, I have a little more turning to do but I had it up to 45 mph which is faster than my last 20 sf. the boat is awesome and I cant wait to get a couple island pics up here.

Just went thru your entire thread, great read and pics. Beautiful sled!! I have a question, maybe I missed it in the thread but what did you do to attach the deck to the stringers. I saw the tabbing to the hull sides, but was there something applied on the stringers?,,,gregg
