Re: BassMunn's PH16

She is going to be one sweet ride !

How long a rod can you put in those lockers? Planning on doing some "moose horns" for holders or just toss 'em in? Tubes?

Re: BassMunn's PH16

Thanks Shannon. Sorry if I seem to be high jacking your forum, but as you can tell the popularity is a testament to your success and inovative thinking and attention to detail !

Re: BassMunn's PH16

Ditto - she is coming together really nice, can't wait to see her with paint....you will have to take lots of pix, I bet this is the most popular project on the go right now! Another question; the splash well is great looking too - I'll be running an 8" hydraulic jack plate but no raised sides....

Re: Bass boat choice

Thanks Guys! Those fins are cool - reminds me of the high end ski boats that are basically flat bottom with skegs added for cornering. I suppose I can expect handling similiar to one of those with fins/skegs/steering strakes added. Shine; thanks for the straight forward advice. It is always welcome....

Re: BassMunn's PH16

Some more dumb questions for the day from the rookie field: 1/ Can I install the fuel tankbelow deck between the stringers? Has any one done this? he reason I would like this is it maximizes the storage under top deck and one can keep the center of gravity where it should be. Moeller makes a 30 gall...

Re: BassMunn's PH16

Thanks Shannon. I'll have to lower the seat base by the sounds of things. I had posted a query on lowring the sole but that gets into altering the engineering and complicates matters from the feedback I got. I may have missed it, but how/were did you decide to go with skeg instead of pad? Did you go...

Re: BassMunn's PH16

Nice work, almost there eh? Say, how much inside height will you have left after placing the seat cushion in on those supports? I understand the PH line has less interior depth then a typical bass boat? The reason I ask is that the seats I am looking at are 6" thick and will need to be on a 6&q...

Re: od16-step chine

Sorry everyone, likely dumb question of the week, what is chine tripping? Do I need to worry about this adding a reverse chine to the upcoming PH18?

Re: Bass boat choice

Thanks Tom. Yes we are definately lucky and head up the #400 from May long weekend through September every chance we get. We also have lots of other lakes northeast of here (the "Kawartha's) that we are on for tournements throughout the season. My personal best Musky was last year, about 1/2 wa...
