Awesome. Got any specs? Motor size? Just curious.

started as a 1436 riveted boat. i removed all the rivets and welded in new gussets. It has 4 ribs running the length of the boat and i laid a piece of 1" aluminum angle 1/4" thick in each v and welded them in. Then i braced the entire boat with more aluminum angle and welded it all in. All the inside is rhino lined including the front half of the bottom of the boat. The ride plate is adjustable and also acts as a trim tab. It can run EXTREMELY shallow. IT can get on plane in about the length of the boat. It has a engine and pump from a yamaha waverunner (500cc 32hp). It runs about 34 mph with 2 of us and tackle. I can run a long way on 5 gallons of gas.
