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

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.
