BassMunn's PH16 - SPLASHED!!!!

[BassMunn]

Got more fairing compound today and just couldn't resist starting

First I needed to drill out my jack plate mounting holes while I could still see the epoxy plugs and just make sure everything goes where it should.

All good


Then just tested it's travel - you think it's high enough I could probably run an UL shaft with amount of height


Then removed it all and started laying down the fairing compound, didn't get too much down, it's a bit late here.




I can't wait to sand this smooth to see how it comes out.

SWEET! Getting closer....

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" riser. At least I assume so to keep from feeling like you are driving a go cart?

Mark the height from deck to sole is 12". My seat bases are 5" and the seats uncompressed will be 4". I will sit pretty high but my previous bass boat was the same so I am used to it and feel pretty comfourtable

Not a great pic, but here you can see the seat height I am talking about


Bigger boats like the Rangers have a deeper sole in the cockpit allowing a lower seat height with thicker seats

Familiar looking console, only yours looks way better

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 with the Evinrude 115? I have one and love it, great on gas, never has given me a spec of trouble in 4 years now.

You are likely tired of hearing it, but that console rocks.

Hey Bass. I think this tool will work for fairing your gunnells. It's very flexible. It's a dense nerf type foam with a very thin spring still plate on the bottom. It's very flexible. It's 12 bucks at Harbor Freight Tools.
