[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 195564, member: 4585"] So I figure I am as close to done with this project as I will ever be. I still have a few things to add like the trolling motor and maybe a power tilt and trim jackplate. That will all be in the future if I don't sell her off for something else. I may end up removing the center bench and turning it into a center console jet drive at some pt. But that will be another modification thread in itself. I would like to thank all those who helped me and offered insight into my first ever attempt at building a boat. I am very happy with the results and have had a lot of compliments on the SwampSled while out on the water. I never would have had the guts to attempt it without this site, and without the advice I got from you. Now its on to find another boat to mess with. Here are a few pics I took while out today. Just me and the dog! I used the GPS and hit 31mph with a light load. It sure felt faster though. LOL 31mph is fast enough for me in a little flat bottom jon boat.......ehhh not really! The next one will be faster. hahaha [/QUOTE]
