Great looking boat! I'm having those same not sanding, smelling resin, painting, and cutting plywood pains myself. Guess it's just natural. One good thing is how well you've done the job; bad but good thing the questions asked and compliments received. Have fun fishing. cottontop :) :P :P :P

Good looking rig. If I went with plywood instead of Foam I would have been done a long time ago. I am getting close. Should be ready to paint interior this weekend if hurricane will let me. have a Bobs Jack plate waiting to go on and a brand new 50HP E-Tech engine in the box. Hard to get motivated in all this heat. What HP did you end up useing?

Thanks for all the compliments, folks!

Hey Ken. Glad to hear that yours is almost done. I ended up choosing the Yamaha 50 2-stroke...considering that I overbuilt the boat a little, the step up from 40 to 50hp was probably a good idea... I've ordered a PowerTech 4-blade, and I'll post stats over the next few weeks.

Since your boat is foam, the 50 horse ETEC should make her fly!

Any recent pics?
