[QUOTE="waterant, post: 515722, member: 34810"] I finally got this boat in the water, and with added floaters or flotation collars, it's super stable and feels safe. It easily planes with 2 adults and 1 child and goes 15 knots at full throttle (15hp outboard) with some small waves on the open lake Ontario. So far, I could not find a reasonably priced 15hp outboard with a remote control, and my lame attempts to add remote throttle and gear controls to the existing outboard were unsuccessful, so I kept it in the steering handle configuration for now. [ATTACH type="full"]120916[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]120917[/ATTACH] If anyone is interested, here is my thread on adding DIY floaters to the side of this boat to make it safer and more stable: [URL]https://www.tinboats.net/threads/diy-flotation-collar-side-floats-to-make-your-tin-boat-safer-and-more-comfortable.51751/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
