Yeah dry hulls , I'll give you an example , Three boats with the same layout (live well, trolling , same size , ) Fisher , Grumman, an Sea Nymph . comes in at 300 lbs different between the three . Pretty much the same deck and seat lay-out and side console . And Fisher comes in at 700lbs and...

Thank You For the reply . The reason I was asking, is you see a tin bass boat that say they weight in at say 700lbs and the same size and same length weighting in far less like almost 300lbs lighter , How could this be possible ? I know one company may add a few more pounds on a different stuff...

Does the weight of a boat make a lot of difference on how well it travels through the water . Like will a heavy boat perform as well as a lite boat of the same size with same size motor ? Any thoughts . Just asking a question !

I'm looking at 1985 Landau Super Hawk Boat , Does anybody know how thick the hulls are on these boat ? Or do they normally run under .060 ? Any information would be great .

I 've worked on a lot of Johnson & Evinrudes , Most of the outboards 9.9 to 25hp has the same frame . The bigger frame like 40p to 50 hp I wasn't 100% sure Thanks to all ! Great information .

I guess my question does anybody know if the bolt pattern is the same and is the drive shaft have the same spline ?

Can I put a lower unit from a 74 Evinrude on a Johnson 40 hp I beleive the Johnson is an 1984 model . They both have exhaust through the prop . Any information woud be great . Thanks .

I know myself that this summer has been super busy . Son graduated this year , truck troubles for my dailey driver , summer vacation . All my projects are on the back burner for now .

Now thats what I'm talking , That boat is very nice ! That is my perfect boat for me , handle a 40hp to 50 hp haul a couple buddys and your set , get max performance for a reasonable price . :wink: And you don't have to refinance the house to have one ,it you know what I mean . All and by...

Very Nice ,I would love to see that puppy run . We don't have anything that big we run on a Harris press and a couple of Hoes , the company looking to buy a new White Star . We Litho on steel , we do a lot of work for Bumble Bee , and a lot of private labels .

I was think long and hard about the 14x48 because it's just me and my son most of time and wife don't fish she just rides along and reads a book in the back of boat . I couldn't believe that it was rated for , when most of the boats that size are only rated for 25 hp . I don't sounds likea...

Very nice project ! You did a great job . Hows it run with the 40 hp on it ?

I have watched all your videos ,Jamie . And many more , Way cool ! Just riding on the river . Well I found a boat company that fit my needs . Alweld makes a couple different boats a 14x48 with a 40 hp rating and a 16x48 with a 50 hp rating . =D> Now I can work within the state laws and have a...

Let see some pictures of your boat and set-up . That sounds pretty fast to me , I 'm the process of build a jet jon of some sort .

You guys make some very good points . And that's what I was talking about , If you add weight of the boat you need to add more hp to go with it . I'm not afraid of tearing up a boat , I'll bring it home I can weld it back together , not a biggie for me . Anyways , I'm just trying to beat the...

Well , thats what I started doing yesterday , I found a war eagle boats make a couple 15 an 16 footers that has a 40 hp rating on them ,that weight is under 400lbs , the only reason I'm trying to find a boat in that range is so I can keep the performance of the jet at it optimum . I ask for a...

But will they cut you a break , Because you loose 30% of your horsepower through a jet ? Or does it matter ? How much does a Blazer 16x48 weight ?Is this a hand built boat ? Can you buy just the boat and build it yourself , like a jon boat ? That really sucks with DNR rules . :x

Well just when you think you got your ducks in a row , One steps out . I got my information from WV DNR , they are telling me that I'm only aloud to run a motor that is rate for the boat . Like I whats on the motor tag ,( like on a 16x48 jon is only rated for a 30hp ) how do I beat this or is...

Is it better to buy a motor with a jet already on it from the factory or if I would find and a motor an add a jet to it ? Would it have better performance or about the same . I have never been around a jet to know , I have looked through some of the other threads and seen where some of the guys...
