My first boat and V boat mod.

Just about finished with this mod, made some rod holders and installed a anchor mate. Stumbled across a 50 lb thrust minn kota on clearance at Wal-mart for 150.00. Can't wait till spring!

Well done. Like the layout

+1 Should be an excellent boat for years to come.

Here she is, the Delyghte is ready to go on the water. Taking her out in the morning(4/18). Excited to she how she performs.

Bet that's the same stuff I put in my boat only I used the grey. Because that was one of the colors auto zone had. And then they stopped selling the grey before I finished the back half of the boat.
Thanks for the reply. Now I no who my have some more grey or heck I may redo the hole thing in Camo. :mrgreen:

I'm Not going this morning. Been walking around kicking the trailer tires all morning trying to decided if I wanted to hook her up. And finally decided the water is to muddy and it has droped two inches over night ( according to the dam web site ) it's also the calm after a week long storm. Blue bird skies.
So il save my money for another day.

Let me be the first in line. So how'd she float? [-o<

Everything looks great!

Well, I had her out on the Seneca River, she floats nice, stable in the water! Everything out of the way so I can fish, I'd say my mods are a success, even fixed the small leak, she's dry as a bone. I think I'm gonna have to get a more powerful motor. The old Eska starts and runs good, but doesn't seem to peak out when it's on the boat. I went through it last winter, (new head gasket, plug, fuel lines and shut off valve, carb kit, gaskets, impeller) it has good compression and when in a barrel of water it peaks out fine. I adjusted it on the boat, but still not peaking like it does in the barrel. must be too much mass and too little horsepower. It gets me there but slowly. I did have fun, even caught a nice northern.
