[QUOTE="Dyin2Fish, post: 97712, member: 1531"] Thanks for the tip on lengthening my trailer bunks. I've never noticed or thought anything about it. I'm going to fish one more weekend before I dive into that project though. Thanks Thudpucker for the info. So far I've been lucky... it has not leaked a drop of water. I'm really liking this boat so far! With new spark plugs, points, condenser, kill switch wiring, throttle coupler and some tweaking on the ignition plate to make it a little tighter, it runs again. I'm going out in the morning to test it on the lake. I'm anxious to see what kind of performance I get out of the 25 horses on this small boat... it should clip right along. I hope we built the transom strong enough! Does anyone out there run a similar setup that could give me a little insight? I will be starting the interior decking, electronics, lights, livewell, etc. soon because I'm already getting bored and ready to get started again. I'm glad I've taken her out a few times beforehand though to see how it floats. I don't plan to deck it as high as I had originally planned.
