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.

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

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!! The guys pulled up to my driveway and moved the plywood into the garage for me

That's definitely plenty of motor! What size shaft is the Yamaha?

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.
