awesome im also looking for a 16ft flatbottom also i bought a 14' but dont think its gonna be wide enough for the look and functionality that im seeking what do you suggest a 16' of 14'? i wanna do a front deck storage, storage in the back and some rod holders i just dont think a 14' will cut it. with multiple batteries, speakers, livewell, ect. but i wanna do something nice like you've got. really like where ur going with ur project

30 I think I can get more. Going to play with the prop but I got to get a tach first. I think I can move up one more hole on the jack plate which will also help. I also want to strip the paint and polish her up that alone will add 5 mph :wink:

I like the 16. Its a good size 14 would be to small for me. We go camping with this boat every summer and have really loaded her down a time or 2. We have to boat into our camp its the only way to get there. I've hauled a truck load of firewood with it across some big water no probs works great. The best thing about it is it's so versatile. We take it to the river, big lakes, small shallow lakes and the bay. 6" to hundreds of feet deep it don't care. Only time I was ever nervous was on Detroit lake in the middle of a huge thunder and lightning storm. I was flying across the water to get off that lake.

Nice boat. I like the way you think. I've been toying with the jack plate idea in my head and trying to go with something similar to your design or get more sophisticated. I can't decide weather to use linear bearings with locking pins/bolts or just go with what you have........hopefully we will all find out soon enough what I decide!!! keep posting the good pics.

Linear bearings would be awesome! If you go that route may as well add an electric linear actuator or hydro. That would be really cool. I'd like to add hydraulic tilt to mine at some point. Keep me posted on what you decide to do.

Sure will. I'm thinking the bearing route, just don't know about actuator because of expense. You can check into my mod from time to time if you like. I hope to keep everything updated there. It's titled: "Voyager 1670 Mod" (I think that's what I called it.......) :shock: :?
