Thanks Jim,
I’ve been looking at yours, nice, neat and not to complicated. Don’t tell anyone, but I don’t know much about woodworking and I’m scared of a router.
What are the 2 inlay strips in your dash?

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing. I amazed at how little difference there is in the performance between a 60 HP and a 90 HP Malahini.
Beautiful boat,
Matt B

The only area a Malahini will struggle to meet your needs is getting up a full size slalom water skier. If your talking about popping up kids, then no problem. I stretched my Malahini about 8”(not approved by designer) and run a 90hp. It will pull kids on a tube well beyond the safe limit. Zip is a ...

Getting the dashboard started. Setting it at about a 15 degree angle. Still thinking about the shape of the bottom edge and maybe an inlay gauge cluster.
Pictures of cool ideas welcomed,

Fabulous boat!!
We take our Malahini out just down the road from you on lake Degray.
Great job,
Matt B

I can’t tell you exactly where the chine intersects with the stem, but here’s what mine looks like. Hope it helps.

Beautiful Malahini, the paint job, decking, swim platforms, trim, etc. all looks great! Camden Arkansas sound like an easy drive to The Gathering in Tennessee this September. We would all enjoy seeing your boat.

My trailer is pretty well tucked under the boat, works fine.

No experience huh, sounds like a good place to start one of the best journeys you’ll ever take.

Very sharp Tunnel Mite. It looks like a production boat.

I re-read your post about gph in a 115hp 2 stroke. Three gallons per hour will push you around at hull speed plus a few, but no chance of planning on 3 gph. Another thing about 2 strokes, they kinda run like shit at lower rpm’s. At idle, my 90 sounds like it’s about to puke some parts out the exhaus...

2 stroke huh? Let me share my experience with a 90hp Yamaha 2 stroke and fuel economy.....it’s a gas sucking machine at WOT and pulling it back to 4000 rpm doesn’t help much. Not bad mouthing my 2 smoker, it’s a screaming little engine and runs like a champ but she is thirsty. In the big scheme of b...

Carl,
19 gallons sounds about right for a 115 Hp 4 stroke on Lake Travis. 4 strokes are very efficient at cruise speeds. We’ve never met, but I have a hunch your not going to be a WOT wave bashing kind of of boater in your Vera Cruise.

What a unique building form and that chine to stem junction is very impressive.
Matt B

Sounds stupid but, The size of the tank depends how far you want to go. I have a 15 gallon in the Malahini, good for a day of water sports. However, running long distances at high speed can be a stretch for the tank.
