hi sorry i havent got back here been busy
this boat took alot to get her looking this way,it was green before and u could scrach the paint with your fingernail the gelcoat was fried, it took a 3-m rep to educate the paint shop to use a product that sealed the hood area ,the shop had problems with primer getting aborbed in the top hood area
this boat was split in 1/2 and a new transome was done for 5500
it has a 78 150 brand new power head 4500 4 years ago and a new lower 3000 end not rebuilt or reconditioned ,new
she does 65 on a 1/4 tank and 1 to 3 footers in the wind with 1 person
i had 2 run steel mounts and a high 4 prop 21 ,i ran a 25 years back
the high 5 was the only prop that would get it out of the water
i ran on lake michigain for 14 years out of diversy harber in chicago
4 to 5 footers was my limit at 60 mph on that lake!!!! i did go out in 6 to 7 ers but i went slow but it was rare!!!
that was the missippi river i run the ohio ,tenn and kent area rivers
