[QUOTE=ScottZ] The floor is 3/4" marine grade plywood. Lattus strips were installed below the plywood to keep the floor level with the lip of the aluminum motor frame. This also gave the motor box enough clearance to sit flush on the floor without rubbing to top of the motor. [QUOTE]

Painting the motor will be a project for someone else. I will try to post a video of the first water test. As for the top end I did not run it wide open. I did run it over 40 mph and had plenty of throttle left to go. The boat was smooth and did not porpoise at all.

Porpoising is safer than the alternative, hopefully it does porpoise at higher speeds!
Rh engine and prop? |
