Tunnel
I am finishing my XF 20 and liking the whole tunnel design. My question is I have a 1965 Super Skeeter that is similar to a Ghenoe. I wonder is the tunnel on the XF20 is the standard size for most boats. I can make it any size as I have to cut the hull. Thinking about a 25 hp on a jack plate. Is it ...

Has anyone ever been to an IBEX Show. I am about an hour from the show and trying to decide if it’s worth the ride. Is it really just for big companies?

Re: Mounting trolling motor
Too late for that. I thought about cutting a small section to accommodate. I have a Powerpux so it will be easy to take on and off. Even thought about a custom aluminum bracket of some sort.

Mounting trolling motor
On my XF 20 built according to plans it is difficult to mount trolling motor as deck is below curved bow. Not only do I have to raise up a support I also still might need to cut out a section so it can hang over enough to deploy. Any pictures of what others have done would be great

Re: XF 20 rigging
I am now ready to start thinking about paint. My hull sides will be somewhat imperfect so I want to use a high build primer. I will be rolling and tipping. What paint and rollers are recommended for amateurs. Thanks for all the previous help
