Great job Capt. Pete. That is a keeper. What did you do for the non-skid?

[Blue_Runner]

Beautiful job!!!

Nice work! Did you sea trial with the engine at that height? How was the performance. Also how high did you mount the 225 on your v?
I'm asking b/c I haven't run my v20 ever and was wondering if they like being a little higher on the transom than the standard cavitation plate height before I mount an engine for the first time. Thanks

Thanks guys.
Vic, I used two coats on Interdeck by Interlux.

Keith, We sea trialed the boat as you see it. It ran better than I expected. I used a Merc Enertia prop. I have my motor mounted one hole shy of all the way up. No problems with cavitation. The Rev 4 prop holds water like a champ.
