Is coming along but I'm still not finished. I got far enough along that I have been to busy fishing when I get the chance instead of finishing her out but I'll get around to it once it gets colder. I can fish 2 adults who both weigh over 220, have 2 batteries on board, trolling motor, 20hp outboard, 6 gallon gas tank, 5 gallon bucket full of shad, and a cooler full of coke. Handles great, plenty of room for it's intended purpose and will do 25mph loaded the way I just described per GPS. Best part is that I am into the entire project about $750! smile

Heres my project so far in pictures

last 2 pics didnt show up. Have to put them on another post. There's a limit as to how many you can out on one post.

It doesn't have to be a $40,000 boat to catch fish. I have $2,300 in mine.

just wondnering how stable the boat is with the seats higher like that. i have a 14ft jon boat and i guess im to chicken to put my seats on a raised pedalstle like you have. Do you have any stability issues? if not im going to give those a try.

Very stable, I can even stand on the front deck portion that is hinged while shooting a bow. I had a 14' flatbottom before this one and it was not near as stable.
