Nice job boat ! I have the same outboard on my j12 skiff .. a stainless steel solas prop made a huge difference in performance

[@WeekendPirate]

Looking to get a stainless steal prop at a slightly different pitch soon 🤙 trying to maximize performance

Nice job on the seadek style flooring. Looks sharp, simple, and efficient. Only thing I'd really consider is getting a Tinyboatnation style cut out floor plate to level the floor up front so it's not curved upward, but that's more of just a comfort upgrade. You can do so much with that rig. Congrats and tight lines!

[@WeekendPirate]

Thanks! Yeah I plan I doing a lot of inshore, flats, fresh water fishing with this. I looked at a few templates for a front deck, still contemplating my decision.

We need a video where you take that boat to the Bahamas!

[@WeekendPirate]

I’ll be doing videos inshore salt water, flats, and mangroves fishing. But ocean crossing to the Bahamas is off the list lol a trip to the keys soon sounds good 😂

[@pronghornboy]

Maybe I missed it but did you do a speed run to determine top speed of your boat? I’m very interested to know how fast it is.

"The Jurassic Park Lock:" 😆

[@WeekendPirate]

Especially when we see the big alligators swimming around it lol

[@johnbustamante3817]

The rim canals hold some nice sized gators! If you want to give gator hunting a try, applications open early May. More than happy to show you the ropes and bring you along on a hunt.

[@WeekendPirate]

@@johnbustamante3817 that sounds like something I want to try! I’ll look into it and let you know

[@willmiedema1767]
