Well she'll be bloodied up in no time.
Not the fasted boat around but that turbo whistle is pretty bad butt!
Maxed out at 20 knots but that'll get me to where the fish are.
The old Perkins diesel startup will probably always get me goin. Thought it was s but smokie then a old timer came up to me and said " that a Perkins in that thing" as I replied yes he just smirked and said " they smoke but there bulletproof "

Congrats on getting your dream boat, tidal shot! That's a sweet boat.
Try to post some pictures after you get it rigged, for those of us (me) that are still dreaming.

Thanks guys, it has been an adventure finding the right boat! Had to drive right across Canada for this one!
Now I need your guys help on finding a real nice solid kicker bracket for her, no one around here can help me, they keep referring to the spring style adjustable ones.

Not sure where youre located, but over on the island there are a few metal fabricators that make some nice welded aluminium brackets. Ive got one powdercoated in white for my T9.9
A quick googling brought me here: http://www.usedcowichan.com/classified-ad/Outboard-kicker-bracket_24765942

I disagree. Just had them do work on my boat and not happy. Welds cracked before it hit the water and the rail they built was not close to the design asked for.
