We could only start using the C19 at end of August and have been on it about 4 or 5 times. At the end of engine break in period now. Have not had 2 people on yet. Least amount was 4 people. With 4 people doing 30mph at 4000rpm (still at break in) could easily go over 30mph. Prop pitch is 14x19. So f...

Dan, I have been out on my C19 a number of times and it rides great. The 115 hp really moves the boat. Was doing around 30 mph with 7 people on board. It handles the Chesapeake bay with no problem.

I was contacting a fuel tank company for quotes and information and they told me all new boats including home built boats built after 2013 have to have this new EPA fuel system requirements with a carbon canister and no spit back deck fill. Has anybody h...

Thanks everybody! I’m sure we’ll be asking a few questions along the way. TomW, Yes we’ll be doing most of the boating and fishing in the upper bay, around the bridge area. We’re planning to put a 90 on it. That would be great for some advice. Dan, Sounds great, thanks! Our first build was a 16’ fla...
