Default 53inch Custom Offshore!

Ok here are some pics of a custom hull I designed and built for a friend. Running a 25cc homelite engine and now a Octura X470. Its just a fun boat but it seems with a bit more tuning it should go really well!

well done! Nice looking boat. Do you have a photo of the bottom of the hull, it looks like a cat?

I will have to get a photo of it for you! it has a cat rear with a mono front if that makes sense? The tunnel comes in about 1/3 from the front, I didnt actually do any plans for this one as it was drawn out straight onto the timber as it took shape on the building board! I was just trying to combine the two types of hulls in a rough prototype for testing. We had it out on the weekend with a new 257 Walbro on it and it runs really well in the chop now!
