Overpowered winter project? I hope so!

gouran01 · Apr 9, 2011

Here is the only winter project I could fit in my basement. A home made 6' 9" x 36" flatbottom with the 10HP 1957 seahorse that I picked up for $50. She ain't the prettiest girl in the shop but after a few more days of paint curing she'll get a camo spray bomb and tested for sea worthiness.

That thing looks Good

But just be careful on the maiden voyage and you have to get some pictures of it at full Power it should be a Blast

got er out today, motor purrrred nicely, and she floated high, BUT, the water was too cold and I was way too sober to give er a shot in open water. Pretty unstable with all that weight on the back, I think I'll stick to the trollin motor like originally planned and may have a reason to invest in a 3-4 HP classic in a month or two.

Indeed! She'll get a fair shot, just prefer a warmer bath!
