I have a 15 in mid for am omc .twin. they are cheap to build and light.

I can come up with enough things to make that merc a 15 inch probably.

Might have to have a drive shaft cut. It's not going to work with that 20 inch motor, the prop shaft needs to be within an inch or two of the sponsors.

I'll see what I can come up with when I get home from Florida.

Open to all suggestions & like to make it sound as rowdy as it can

If you have a Gordon's food service the have 5 gallon buckets of lard to grease his ass up with, should slide right in

So, after I replaced my bunks, I discovered my trailer mounts were cracked in several places. We lifted it off and repaired it and painted it and put it back together.

The waterfront bars/restaurants are open year round?

How many months of the years is the C-Dory the boat of choice?

Would a canvas/plastic bimini full enclosure compare?

There's a handful open year round @ various parts of the lake. We run his C Dory & our cruiser with full eisenglass all year. We have those lil buddy propane heaters to warm up as needed. Our cruiser has an automatic bilge heater that kicks on @ 36° as needed.
Bimini with full enclosure would work fine with a lil heater.
Hope to get some friends out tomorrow on our cruiser.

Cruiser run today

New ECU …no rev limiter and better fuel curve! Also, the engine will breathe easier with cowl opened up. Re-routed air compressor pump water thru the port fuel rail for more cooling. Dreading cutting the face of this cherry cowling, but it needs more air and it looks pretty stock. The engine will be a little louder with the cowl modified. Cleaned the water line filter that is down in the lower block while I was at it. It had debris all over it.

Tested the DBR mods today…The Blue Canoe is getting more formidable. This is the 3 mile straightaway at the afterbay. The new mods bumped me from a redline 107 mph, to over 110 mph. Same prop. 30 BBlades.
