16' ? I think it would hold a 90 Yamaha 2-stroke just fine.. 70 maybe.

It was for sale for 550 but I got it for 425. I plan on racing it next summer with a local club that races speed skiffs, garveys, hydros, and these things. It is a 13 footer and the 70 should push it around 55 or so. I had a 90 Yammie on the last one I owned and that did 61. I plan on opening up the boat and adding stringers and bulkheads to strengthen it up. Then make the transom 20". Then rig it and go racing.

13'? with a 70. That is my kinda talk. That Bullet looks like a neat setup, never seen one up close. The v-hull race boats I see are either Offshores, lake class or older wooden kneelers. Very cool capt Pete.

Hadn't heard ya mention Bullet lately and thought the urge had passed...then saw ya on FB w/it...and Michele's thoughts...I think she'll be OK once ya take her for a ride in it!!...

Lookin' at the pics above, I was wonderin' if you were gonna crack it open and work on it...somehow I didn't think you could resist...I know it'll be a stronger hull once yer done!!...What a great project to go racing with!!...just keep the keel down!!...

Ya gotta name her "For PETE'S Sake!"
