Why not build your own. I have a set of Luce drawings you can use.. I have a FER Luce that Iam building for Sutfin/Drew79c. One of these days we will finish it

Runabout

Pete - Thanks for thinking of my boat for Jeff for FER. The boat would work but the bottoms are more narrow for Pro than what they run I believe. Jeff did send me a pm and I replied to him. I remember they used to be 30 plus inches when they built a FER new not sure as I have not run FER as it was called then for many years.
I ran a Pro Desilva boat for years in FER so what do I know lol. And your correct its in the same state and ready to run

Thanks Bill... I may have to do that but, my shop space is full of custom surfboard orders and repair jobs for the foreseeable future.
I don't think I have the time to build one before next season, and that's the time frame I'm lookin' at.

So, we will see what I can afford -vs-time/space

Depends on Engine

Jeff,

Todd is right, if you plan to run your 3 holer, it most likely won't be the ride you hope for. If you plan to hang a 6 Cyl Merc on it, she will scream and be the right boat.

Thanks Dave...
I assume you mean the 3 cyl's torque and the narrower bottom of the pro boat = bad handling

Jeff, I sent you a pm

Boat

Jeff,
I had the pleasure of running Mike Lopez's 3 cly on an 1100r Desilva with a 22" bottom. They are a handful but can be done and Mikes motor was no slouch believe me. I dont remember the exact reason any longer why they went to a wider bottom but I know Klemm, Lopez, Allen Sutfin and Al Abby had 3 cly and they had a wider bottom 35" maybe on a Sorenson boat back then I believe.

Todd

Just get a konny, Rossi, VRP hang on and go give them heck I'll watch lol!!!

Hey Jeff

Always good to see a mod runabout class grow.

Now does this mean you're starting the Moses Lake roll call for 850MR ?

Best of luck
