Give you a call tonight - got a question about designing a boat. Gonna
be around?


Thinking Tuesday or Wednesday - interested? Run around the Bay again
or you want to fish Hackett's? We could go to Niantic and fish the
out flow from the power plant.


I'll be around tonight, I will give you a call later this afternoon.
Wednesday looks good for fishing, of course, most days look good,
might go out tonight. BTW, I grabbed a helm from the other house
yesterday, gonna' finally take a shot at that Gayle. At 500-600
pounds, engine, equipment, me, and 6 1/2 foot beam from the center
back (10degree rake on sides) how fast do you think that thing will
go, Anyone with experience with flat bottom skiffs feel free to chime
in here, Here is the boat that is going to get the engine, Low transom
and all, anyone got a guess?? Harry, ever put an engine like that on a
brockway type skiff??

Oh crap, I should mention it is a mid 70's?? Gayle, 35 horse short
shaft. Will be helm controled... Thanks.


Sounds like a good race could be set up here... between your green monster
with it's 35 horses and my blue comet with it's 25 hp.
