Hi Salty, Total costs were: $183.00 state taxes, $164.14 parish taxes, $96.00 registration fee.

Congratulations on the splash! I enjoyed following your build.

Fallguy,

I have yet to put the boat in the water. My guess is that the motor should easily clear the water if tilted up with the jackplate in the raised position. I will post a picture of the motor tilted when I conduct a water test on Labor Day weekend.

This is the Bob's 6 inch action series jackplate. The baystar ram and tubing clears the transom with the motor bolted on the 3rd bolt hole. I would go higher on the transom with the jackplate if I were doing this over again.

The OB 21 should be an excellent boat for fishing the rigs.

The Yeti will hold 259 cans of beer. The beast should hold around 400 cans!

Sorry to derail your thread Salty. I intend to start on the AB23 next year. I have my hands full right now subcontracting out my house.
