[QUOTE="C.U. Fishin, post: 144802, member: 3364"] The maiden voyage went great, the boat is very stable even with someone standing on the both casting decks. After 4 hours of fishing there was barely enough water in the floor to wet a paper towel. My antique 7.5hp Fishing Scott motor doesn't have enough quite enough power to get it up on plane, but that was not completely unexpected. I have a good line on an older (probably early to mid 70's) Johnson 25hp that I should be able to pick-up at a very reasonable price. It has been stored for probably 20+ years so it will need a little TLC before it would be ready for the water. Owned by the same widow that sold me my 1432 and the Scott motor, from what I can tell her late husband took good care of his toys. So hopefully some carb work, new impeller and new lower unit lube could be all thats needed. [/QUOTE]
