No problem GT, I spent the night cutting out transom adapter plates for the little boat  , got to get that thing done soon !! 

how about some pics of leo? damn! he looks huge!

Well I had to drag this thread back up.  I decided to slap this thing together and get it wet.  Wanted to see if I would like a boat this big. 

 I will admit, I hate the OB !!! It sounds gay, smells terrible, and is a pig out of the hole. But it did run good and has lots of power once its on plane. 

 But I love this hull !!!!!  It rides sooooooooo nice.  And feels realy light on the water.  I did manage to scare myself with it though  .  I made a few passes in front of the marina at around 3k rpm, trying to figure out the trim system.  Then once I was an expert at it  , I stood on the throttle and started trimming it up.  Every time I went up on the trim switch it went faster and gained more rpm, nice.  So now the hull has lifted and is moveing along pretty good.  I have no idea how fast it was going (didnt bring the GPS) but it felt fast.  So my dumb azz decides to trim it up more, BAD IDEA !!!  The bow cought a bunch of air and came way up, and it started dancing around from sponson to sponson.  Felt just like those little OB race boats on TV look just before they blow over.  Good thing I was already an expert and able to save it  .

 Bottom line is, I like the boat and it is going to get a real motor now.  As soon as the little blue boat is gone, the surgury can begin. 

That is bitchin' Jeff! I'm stoked to see that boat on the water 

Can't wait to see the surgury in process. 

you need to put some motors like mine on the back of that thing...... Or my other motor sitting in the corner....No!  Twin's  way faster!

I'm no outboeard expert but a couple of those should only set you back 30k to 40k

 Not a chance in ....

 Pleshy, you need to come up here and buy this old motor.  Its just what you need,  for something. 

Hey Propped, 

You need to try a cleaver propeller and lift the ass of the boat some more, you're leaving the poker game with all your chips on the table....

That thing has the potential to fill your linens for sure 

If you can get some transom lift with a cleaver, it will "tip toe" a lttle more and make it more comfortable and stable.

Gotta go to the old mans garage and see what pitch is sitting in there...What pitch you ruuning now and at what RPM?

Might as well make it fun for a while 

GT

try 18k to 28k

Well 28 k is close to 30 ...I told you I was no expert . Keep us posted proppy er uh propless er uh.

congrats on gettin  it wet, you will love that hull, keep the pics coming once the "surgery" starts

The guy showed up and bought the OB !! 

 It took a while to get that thing off there (it was huge), and he didnt like my idea of chopping it off with the sawzall and letting it fall.  So, I didnt have much time to get the boat torn down.  I did get the carpet out and cleaned up some of the glue, the balsa still looks good. 

Proppy...are you going to set the intake yourself? What intake are you going with? Who is going to do the stringers? How far back are you going to set it(the intake)? Btw is there a question limit over here.lol

Looks better already without that thing stuck to the back!

 Yea, it looks wayyyyy better, Still need to get those ugly brackets off there. And remove those strange little thinge on top corners of the transom, dont have any idea what there for (maybe somekind of OBers but plug  ).

No.
Standard Berkeley, with rideplate/shoe.
Waiting to get a final price on that, but probobly Greg Shoemakers guy.
Thats not my decision, its up to the Daytona guru.
And no, theres no question limit (that I know of). 

nice should be a fun build. hope you go with a rounded keel

 It already has a rounded keel.  Its a 21', I think the flat keel deal was mainly a 19' issue.
