We was runnin 55 in side sea's. and smooth as ever.

the wood is really no problem unless its used in the transom. almost all boats mg's that say no wood still use wood for the consoles and other non structural parts of the boat. as long as the stringers and transom are glass it should be good to go.

I don't know when. I don't know where Hebert's or the last weir is. I live in Cut Off. But if I ever head to that side of the state I will let you know. You do the same if you ever come this way.

Well we do both work offshore, so maybe we can hook up our here. hahaha

that boat is light for having any kind of wood in it. Ive always heard that a 3 blade has a better top end than a 4 blade. If this is true,hate to see what it would do then. I have a 22' pathy with 200 hpdi. When it was new I had gotten 63 gps out of it, with only me in the boat,15 gal. of gas and a lifejacket.lol since then I added lots of goodies and gear to it. Now, more in the 54-56 range. 63 is terrifically fast for all the stuff you got in that boat. That rocks.

If you have wood in the floors and decks, you need to be sure to keep all screws
tight and sealed. I keep a boat at Olmsted Shipyard in Lake Charles and they are
always cutting out decks and replacing rotten wood.
Insurance will not pay for rotten wood or water in decks. Once the water gets in
the wood, it is very labor intensive to get it out.
The newer wood is more water resistant, but it can still rot. You just have to make
sure all the screws are tight and sealed. Can't say that enough.
I had a friend who used to fish offshore with me in a Welcraft and his center console
screws got loose from the pounding. His whole coring had to be changed out.
Boats are worse than anything about having to be kept up.
Wax, flush, clean, seal, wash, ect...
There is nothing easier than an aluminum jon boat. But they make noise and pound
too much.
