Updates as they occur:
Mad the transom modifications and had motor reinstalled.
Trying to complete the finish work but the other boat is slowing the process.
Wiring is moving along.
Trials of the Registration process continue....Never easy but worse than usual.

Looks good, only the ventilation plate looks to low, it should be even with with the bottom of the transom. Love the Suk 40.Rover1 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 11:50 am Updates as they occur:

HI Tom,
It is pretty close to even. The angle is not great. When I measured the transom it was exactly 20". I'll take another picture.
Sigh, the lady at the registration office said to just overnight the check. It wouldn't cost much.....
$26.50! Check was for 27.50. Even in state it's expensive. but it saves spending 20 on gas going to the other end of the state.

Hi Tom,
USPS. Had not sent overnight for a long time. Saves a day on the registration process.

Re: FS-17 Again
So I decided to take the boat to the ramp and do a test launch. It went well.
I was concerned about the motor sitting for so long without running since it was installed and had gas in the tank, the fuel has stabilizer in it. Started right up.
Standard height gunnels and entry/exit. Turned out to be better than the first boat where the gunnels were raised 3". Actually more than that because of they were much thicker than this boat.
Float position, Could not see exactly how the boat sat in the water it never really left the trailer.
For a first attempt it went well over all. Pictures below.
