Re: Mikem59 FS18 Build
It took 17 months for mine to be fishable (I'm still not truly finished)

Re: Pro Wader FS18, SPLASHED
The draft is about 5". I didn't have my gps, but I can tell you the 30hp pushes her faster than I want to go. She gets a little squirelly at WOT. She didn't track as well as I wanted poling from the rear, but I was by myself. I need to adjust more of the weight to the front. I wanted to try the...

I'll resand and shoot it in August when I'm not fishing. Until I get a poling platform, the ice chest will...

(it's 31 degrees this morning but will warm up to 65.) http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/313698_10200203994055321_87225...

Re: XXXF20 Build
Jorge, I ran a similar custom aluminum boat for years, similar design and tunnel. You should not need a low water pick up unless you plan to run for extended lengths of time jacked up. The biggest issue I had was the prop blowing out on the hole shot. That was remedied with a custom prop with extra ...

Re: Pro Wader FS18
Got a lot of stuff done under the decks; battery box, wire, bilge pump...
I got the hatches fitted. I don't know, I worked my butt off all day but didn't get near as much done as I planned.
