			Spare I will keep a look out. But will this be as strong as if I laid new glass for the two foot filler? Its a long shot but I will check the 18 Fisherman I have at the house. I think it does not have the deadrise ? of a V20 though.

			If I do decide to register it home built, do I need to go thru Coast Guard? And who determines max HP? I need a 300 HP rating at least. Also what about the HIN? Does it need to disappear?

			You probably don't wanna do home built BUT if you do it will be through your state title office... you will turn in receipts and title/hin number of parts boats used and you will be issued a new number and title.... hp rating is determined by whichever is more restrictive a formula (length beam freeboard deadrise hull style etc) from the coast guard site and by the builder (you)

			Sorry I dont have the cash. I propose a trade. I will trade it for my 16 ton hydraulic nail unbender, a meglinating variable intensity multifunction power tool, 18 volt cordless hammer, and a 7 function multitool (has meat thermometer, gaydar, and a paternity test).   and i might throw in a bucket of propwash too.

  Fantastic!!!!  Trade works well!!!!  Hold on while I put my Bargainin Britches on........ I'll do it for the MVIMP tool(mine has a broke torque rotation awl....), hmm...I like the multitool though I own a Garden Center so I have the best Gaydar money can buy.......but the paternity test could come in handy.......the hammer would end up on Ebay.  Tell you what....throw in a generator for the nailbender and we'll call it a deal!!!

			Hmmm. You drive a hard bargain. I have a smoke and fume generator that will work but I use it to keep mosquitos away. How about a combination extension cord water hose? It would be perfect for your garden center!

 My goal is to have twin 2.5L Mercs. I will probably never see WOT but I will have the advantages of twins. I believe with an extension and a bracket I will get approved for 300Hp. The bracket is built into the boat so strength is not an issue.

			Didn't read if you already have trim tabs,  but if you don't -  adding them will make a big, make that a HUGE difference in the ride !!! I speculate that without tabs, making the boat longer will still require tabs to get the best ride. |
