Yes aluminum, I'm hoping my motor will push it 25-28 miles

Sounds like it would do the trick, aluminum right??

It's just a big flat bottom skiff. It's rides a little hard but if
speed isn't your thing, it's great..

Well, I live in CT and the boat is not for sale, I was just pointing
you in a direction to look. A big flat bottom skiff, wide, high sides
like this sounds like the deal for you if you can find one. Of course
I can tell you how to build one for less than 500 bucks too but that's
another story;) Anyway, on a lake with mostly calmer days this boat
will travel 15-20+ mph depending on trim and load. They do pound hard
in a chop, and with only a slight rake on the sides, they are kind of
wet. But that's the tradeoff for the space, speed, and cost.


MIne is just a simple plywood skiff, built in my backyard. Like I
said, I have a 25horse console steering engine on now, I love it.

I didn't know you had a console in that thing now, I just
automatically thought it was a tiller motor.- Hide quoted text -

Nope, I took the 8 off last year and put in a wheel controls and a 25
horse, I have video somewhere, I will see if I can dig it up..- Hide quoted text -

I seen a video of you running up and down a lake, but I don't believe
I've seen a pic of the controls installed. I'm really interested!
Building a boat would be a great father/daughter/son project.
