I was also wondering if the ones who have built a squirt and stretched it to 11 feet and put a 9.9 or 10 hp on it were happy with the performance now that i need a motor all the 15 hp or fastwin 18 hp motors i was finding are gone or the price is way out of the budget but i can still find a few 9.9 hp motors but im worried that it just wont perform to well with my big rearend and another passenger on board.

Boat looks great Red! I'd keep searching for the engine you really want.

Hey Red - Just seeing this. Did you use that paint you and I talked about for the bottom?
