Don't know much about boats, but that looks great, keep us updated.

Excellent! Nice form, fit, and welding. Should be a blast to pilot.

I'll bet you'll have slightly more than $1/HP in that project...

Outside the weather's frightful but inside welding up a boat is so delightful, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. -60 with wind chill at Prudhoe Bay AK. Burr, will be cold for Santa getting out of the North Pole this year.

Steve. BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand. Guess I could put the 300hp in and that would make the $/hp ration better but the fuel cost would eat up the savings pretty quick. Would be mad fun though in the shallow rivers.

Will post more photos as I get further along.

When I had an old wood forty-footer years ago, we called it "a hole in the water surrounded by wood, into which you pour money".

Very nice build !
