Congratulations on getting your boat.

Just think safety first

Looks like that would be fun skipping over the mud flats in Westernport....what type of motor has it got?

The LS1 is a GM aluminium small block 5.7 litre V8. In the order of 300HP. In other words, this thing flies. Nice boat.

Best idea I've seen yet ! rod holders built into the hand rails ! more tinnie builders should do this..

hoping to sneak out for a little while tomorrow, as above 5.7litre alloy v8, the impellor in the jet is a little on the small size but sits on 60kmh at a lazy 3500 rpm revving any harder just goes past the jets effiecient working range and you gain little speed for extra revs, but its gets up to speed farkin quick
