You'll fly with that Yamaha 9.9. Double my Tohatsu 5 and I move along an easy 12mph with a big trolling motor and battery on the nose. I have to be a little careful gunning it in a turn as I can lose my balance a bit if not paying attention. Nice progress on the fairing.

It seems we have another Texas lady boat builder. You must be a trend setter

Re: SK14 in TX
KurtActual, the cost of shipping the SK14 to a local terminal in your area is included in the price of the kit. Should you want residential shipping, there would be an additional fee from the freight company of $60-$80.00. I hope this helps!! Sorry AG for stealing your thread!!! Jeff

Thanks a ton Jeff!
Re: SK14 in TX
Just like Jeff said, I had the option between a local terminal and residential shipping. I decided to do the residential shipping and it was super convenient and easy!!

Re: SK14 in TX
That's definitely plenty of motor! What size shaft is the Yamaha?

Someone asked me, if I were stranded on a desert island what book would I bring... "How to Build a Boat."

Here's the progress recently..
Added a piece to the transom for the motor to clamp. It is already fiberglassed, just needs to be faired.
I also got the fairing done on the deck.. I did 2 layers with the epoxy w/ BBC fairing blend and final layer was Total Fair. There is a little bit of sanding to be done on spots that were touched up. Really happy with the results.
Got the trailer this weekend. It's in the backyard, ready for a boat!
Next up, I am going to use the Cracker Larry method to put graphite on the bottom and then it's on to paint.
