Thats alot of "merciless" wood their cowboy...and let me guess the pic next to it is...................Paraiso:inlove........good to see you're finally on the last leg of the "$-pit-$
Very nice jtk! Reminds me of my old boat projects.... both were 13ft whalers, one of them had water lodged under the floorboards and caused the foam to rot. That was a pain in the arse haha! Anywho what kind of power you gunna be running on that puppy? What kind of steering system will you be using?
i got a 135 v6 mercury 2001 for 2500 bucks on payments,(done) i am just using a teleflex universal cable system,(cant afford power steering right now) this boat did 35 mph with a 115 johnson v4 , with 3/4 comp. on one cylinder. now with new motor and new bottom paint and a SS prop i think 50 mph is gonna be no prob. wake boarding anyone? my prediction is you guys will be riding in it before end of summer.(3 weeks till its finished)
beach pic is the island that i work on right now,(sunset key) .5 miles west of key west. no cars no tourists. most beautiful place i have ever seen. and about 2 years ago i dug a hole in the backyard,(bought boat) and i have been filling it w cash;. well, hole is almost full!!!!!
