[QUOTE="Churak, post: 469805, member: 25211"] It sure does after we stripped the hull down we took it out on the lake to check for leaks and have a little fun - getting on plane was a rip. Even with him sitting all the way forward, while on plane I still need to stand to see over the bow. I'm hoping with the addition of the deck, foam, and everything else it'll be a bit more reasonable. It's also seems the shaft is short for the hull, with WoT I was losing power on the top end - sounded like we were sucking air because we were skimming across the water :lol: I like having the 48 on there because it offers plenty of power for the hull (a hair above recommended max) that gives me a bit more confidence to handle some of the rougher water I might encounter, but if I still find I'm running into issues with it once the boat is done, I'll look to trade for a lower HP outboard with a long shaft.
