    Sir, I know the disappointment punting on a dream project but I submit it is for the best. Hulls will get real cheap soon, My Ross Barnett boat will be replaced by the Champion I have mothballed and when I let the RB boat go it will be very cheap. I have caught north of 50K Crappie in it not counting the thousands of saltwater fish. The Black and Green boat build you know is a identical hull but I won't put that much effort into another. That's why the Sheeter is here, traded a couple of tiller outboards for it. It's solid, just need cosmetics not a cap pulled to fully rebuild. Fine you something short & wide out of Glass for the best overall comfort.
    Thanks Jamesdean thanked you for this post

    Thank you for the info Rojo. Everything is going to be around how momma, my better half aka Ms Joyce, progresses with this. I will keep all this in mind. One reason I got this boat was it is short and wide. 16' Tri-Hull Bass boat. wasn't over powered having that 65hp on the back. I don't need the speed facter at my age, besides my back is done with all the sudden jarring shocks. Too many miles in a big truck bouncing down the road with a tore up L-4 and L-5 discs. Just need enough to get on plane and ride comfortable, not so much speed.
    Proud to have served with and supported the Units I was in: 1st IDF, 9th INF, 558th USAAG (Greece), 7th Transportation Brigade, 6th MEDSOM (Korea), III Corp, 8th IDF, 3rd Armor Div.
