You won't see that boat onAlWelds site. It is a design built for Lake Area called a marsh special or something like that. It is a simple 5 degree design with trim tabs built onto the boat. Runs well.

Horsepower to weight ratio. The motor makes close to 50hp, let's just say it's a very healthy 40, and the hull weighs less than 500 pounds, that's less than 10 pounds per horsepower, gotta go fast. Figure your current pounds per horsepower ratio, you will begin to understand. We were running an empty hull, if we had brought a 17 pitch prop, it would have run even faster. We were bouncing the rev limiter with a 16.
