That looks great.

I never heard of Arjay, so i googled it. Did you use the Pourable ceramic compound?

You went with a 25" transom, so is another motor in the works?

Yea, he is a good little helper..

I used the ceramic pourable, I was very impressed, easy to work with and very strong. I looked at Sea Cast that happens to be made near by, its almost double the cost, This seemed like a very good alternative. Very happy with the results.

Looks great! And from the timestamps on the pics, looks like the whole project took less than 3 minutes

Default took the v20 out, finally!!

Dad and I took the boat this week end for a shake down cruise. Man, is that etec nice. Boat performed very well, almost 5mpg at 30mph and thats running double oil since it has no hours on it. so far top speed is 48mph. You can see from the picture the little bilge is very tight, with two batteries, two bilge pumps, oil tank, live well pump and thru hull tranducer. So far i'm very happy with the entire set up. I guess all the hard work has paid off.
