FS17 build in central Texas
Posted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 9:12 pm
Here we go again. I finished building an OB15 last year. Great boat and great design, but I figured out that I needed a bigger boat. To save me from the time involved building another boat, I purchased a used production bay boat but I was not at all happy with it, so I just sold it. Those things are way too heavy and I was constantly finding things I wanted different about it.
I guess once you get spoiled with a custom build, you just can't settle for a production boat. I purchased the FS17 plans a few weeks ago and purchased the first load of ply today. I will also try to keep a better record of my build here. My OB15 build was not well documented, but here is a link to the build thread if anyone is curious.

This FS17 will be built as a center console and powered by a 50hp Tohatsu TLDI. I love these motors and was very happy with the 40hp TLDI I had on my OB15.
Once I start cutting, I will start posting pictures. I know how much you all love boat porn.
