[QUOTE="Kentuckydiesel, post: 346143, member: 12176"] I definetely have love for the fins...just not for this project. :wink: I could honestly say that if it was a normal lake boat, the stringers would likely be fine. I've seen alot of other ones that were in perfect shape. I just tend to build my stuff excessively strong...for tsunamis and such. :D I'm still trying to pin down my max speed. The hook in the hull has been bad enough that my max speed was actually achieved with about 1000lbs more that usual in the boat. That said, the boat handles GREAT and rides very well in rough water (when it has enough weight in it to overcome the hook in the hull). All said...it's a very good hull design. Just need to get mine right again. So far, max speed has been around 35-37 mph...but the props were slipping a fair bit. -Phillip [/QUOTE]
