And the Dek-King is GREAT.

Tom, with 2 18 gallon tanks, and after yesterday's run, I carry plenty of gas. I did not add in the deep keel option and she performs great. She slows greatly in tight turns, and may cavitate on hard acceleration out of a turn. But I did not expect her to be a race boat so I am good with that. As a ...

Man, it's been a huge set of issues. Truck wasn't running right. Dad needed support because he got cancer. My own house needs work. The list goes on. Hopefully I will make next year. I'm glad Butch was there with Innocence, along with Bill and Lola because they were my inspiration! I've been trying ...

Just don't tell anyone and let them find it. As builders, we know every flaw. That doesn't mean we need to point them out! I did here only because I want to let fellow builders know. I want to leave more info than I took.

So, it has Been a year since launching. I have had a whole summer to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I must say that I love this boat. The ride is very smooth, even on whitecapping lake chop. 20-25 mph seems to be the magic speed, but will do 42 @ 4200 using a stock, mid 90's carburetor engine (240 hp...

I run one, as well

If you have a reciever hitch, get something like this. I made many trips using one similar.

I am going to have to agree with Bill. I apologize, as I had the 23' in mind. I don't think the 19 has enough room for 2 rows. If the cockpit is any shorter than in the 23, there wouldn't be enough leg room. The rear of the cockpit is limited by the engine. You can see that in Dave's picture as well...

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, I think you could. It took a little thinking to do it but it wasn't too bad.

If that is your waterline, the engine height above the water isn't an issue. Looking at the motor mount in the picture and the missing paint, it looks like your waterline may actually be lower than it was previously....

I used to rig boats many moons ago. Many had mounting bolts below WL. The holes were drilled for outboards, silicone pumped into the holes, bolts with big aluminum washers shoved most of the way in, silicone under the inside washer, bolts shoved all the way in, silicone around the protruding bolt, m...

This type of Jack plate.

Unless I am missing something, don't despair just yet. There are many many outboard boats out there with the lower 2 mounting holes below the waterline while sitting. My old fish n ski with a 150 is one of them. You could also take a look at a Jack plate. They make them that are aluminum, and are de...

That is looking great!

I'm running a 1" shaft behind a 240hp 351, slinging an Acme 13x13 3 blade prop via 1:1 transmission. With 300hp you may end up with a different pitched prop. Are you sure the stuffing box isn't the one for the rudder shaft? I can't recall 100% but I think it is a 1 1/8" rudder shaft. As fa...
