    Made a record setting 1

    Trip to the Tpw office!!!! Out of the tons of boats and motors I've had down through the years this was the first single tripper I've ever had.

                  Thanks!! I think that color will go really well with the off white and black.

                    5 layers of glass cloth!!!! Man,that ought to be the strongest part of the hull. What are the hulls moulded of in the beginning?

                        The hull is at least a 1/4"ish...thick. Shouldn't have any problems with it!

                          Frog,
                          You are right on with that 25 hp. I have the same boat. 25hp gets 26 mph on gps lightly loaded. My kids absolutely love it. I like to refer to it as the white knuckle boat because you squeeze the ***** out of the wheel while driving it. You're in for a ton of fun. Believe It or not these boats can handle some chop too if you are smart about it. Have fun sir!

                              Honestly don't recall. I called Jack Foreman in Port Lavaca. He's known for building these small mowdy boat props. Look him up and give him a call. He'll make sure it runs in spit if you want it to.

                                Can do. I've dealt with jack on my other boat. I was planning on using him again!
