I am asking 38,500, which hopefully allows me to recoup most of the raw materials cost and 2.50 an hour in labor.
The boat performs well in open water , of course with more than just a novice behind the helm that understands the sea and understands that there IS AND ADJUSTMENT ON THE THROTTLE FOR A REASON.
On our reason trip on the open waters of the bay she did really well and was fairly dry with the reverse chines and spray rails that's generated in the bottom chines. They turn the water and lifts the boat up on top while also throwing water outward instead of the boat running thru a shower on most all occasions when you think that you will get soaked.
It leaves little to no wake at cruising speeds and even flatter when running on the top end, which I rarely run it. There is really no need for it unless I am wanting to air the four stroke engine out at the end of the day.
We have taken our dinghy with us on all of our trips. But we have found that this boat will get us into most any creek for poking around that we have wanted to go along with the ability to go directly up on any beach and anchor up for messing about the shore areas in remote regions.
It does tow nicely on the trailer and well balanced too. I put it on an oversized trailer since trailer manufacturers do not cater to liteweight cabin hulls that's not equipped with big twin engine outboards that acts as a counterweight for minimizing tongue weight.
So these axles are further forward and gives me this option. On aluminum frames you can only bend the I-beam so far forward without stressing them. So this also keeps the running gear further aft too.
And if you want it delivered to the west coast, I am free to travel and have vehicle and time on my hands.
Oh and did I tell you that it makes a great camper too at any campground? Oh that's not my tent, but my friendly neighbor that was sleeping on the ground on a blow up mattress as we sleep out of the damp rain too.
