MY "NEW TO ME" PROJECT(cause i'm broke)

[Kent St Skiff]

fishing platform

Once it is running do you have any plans for a rear fishing platform? I have a same boat (but only 19'). I have only owned it for about 6 months and I am interested in adding one to mine and would like to find the best way to do it. Good luck.

Funny you should ask that Kent. He's been poking around the CS forum for ideas on just that project.

Lots of good things about your rig. Priced right! Not worried about scratching it!! Spend your time fishing instead of waxing and polishing! No monthly payment! etc....

Hope you get it slimy real soon,

on hwy 6 between alvin and manvel, there is a scooter, looks to be a 16-18footer, it's on the left going TOWARD alvin. Been meaning to stop by and inquire, but keep forgetting.

Greg you wouldn't happen to know where there are any other old skiffs around would ya.

i may just build one, plywood covered in glass and gel-coat, WAY cheaper than one from CS.

With the help of starbrite hull cleaner, and dollar store brand toilet bowl cleaner, all of the stains are gone, and it is back to the white color, fiberglass has been repaired, and it is complete,water ready.
The good thing is, i have less invested in this whole rig than most people have in their prop!!

Way faster than I care to go, only lost about 1/2 of draft.
Holeshot is unbelievable, even with a 24p prop.
Handles no different than with the v-4 on it.
I was at 58.7 before I backed out of it@ 56-5800 rpm, and She was still pulling.
Verified via garmin GPS.
