The boat is getting painted next weekend, and yes, the Merc will be attached. It took me a long time to aquire that motor and it's been a good one so far. I did dress it up a bit with a new Harrington hood and late model graphics. I do envy the torque of the 3cyl Tohatsu though. I have a 3cyl Johnrude that seems to pull all the way to the next turn. Your gonna have some fun with yours. Maybe I'll get a chance to see ya in the first turn sometime.

is the round cutout in the left sponson for access to adding lead?
Too many times, hit something in the water, and have the turn fin assemble missing when returning to pits. I now bolt thru the bracket, to the sponson back, and put a small cotter/shear pin thru the bracket and turn fin. I tighten the fin bolt just enough to secure and still kick back if I hit something. Hence the need for the access to the sponson top. This has worked for me in the past, so just incorporated into the new hull.

Heres a little more progress on the runabout. Can you guess what the nose will look like?
According to the time and date stamped on these pictures, This boat won't be built or see the water for about another seven years! I wonder if it will fly!? We hope so! 66G
where about to lay the bottom stringers. it's been going along very well. It helps that my dad has built boats in the past and is retired union carpenter. He knows a whole lot of crap that i am trying to learn as we go. So i'll get some more pics soon but also check trora because thats where the pics go first.
