The boat is cold molded. There is no transom plate. I am not sure why but I have heard that you need to be careful to not over zinc a wooden boat...
ditto. Shurhold makes a mount that goes right on the end of the scrub brush pole
The boat is out for the winter. I will be up to do some more digging next week so I'll report back. (there are no plates on transom and the zincs...
The bottom paint is Seahawk Biocop light blue. Its a wood boat as well if I failed to mention it. Probably going to deal with the bottom next...
Internal bonding (so far) is really clean and the boat is super dry inside. But as you know it only takes one thing. We think its our neighbor...

You're on! Won't be until the end of April but if things work out that it would be great.
Hi Capt Ralph! The owner knows the range vs speed situation as he took the boat down there last fall. I think generally speaking it will be...
its my neighbors boat and doing it as a friend even though I do this professionally. I owe him. I just haven't done the run northbound in several...
The owner bought the boat last year so he has a fairly good idea of fuel situation but boat speed really is going to dictate that and weather will...

Delivery, no sight seeing.
