Thanks, it's been a great boat. It's a Bossman Karma which is a splashed Hells Bay Gladeskiff (with sponsons added). She's 18'10" and really light. The aluminum gas tank is up front so the weight is distributed nicely. The hull is rated for a 30hp engine and the 25hp yamaha pushes it to 31mph light/solo and 28mph with gear/crew, which is fast enough for me...only sucks when making really long runs. I added a CMC Tilt/Trim which acts like a fixed jack plate too by raising the motor a few inches, but also allowing the motor to trim out. Now, I can run skinnier and there is no pull on the tiller arm. The prop is a power tech SRA 3 blade 12 pitch which has some cupping.
