here's a large slideshow of what's been happening with my current project! One of the many t-750 boats that isn't ready yet.
Comments, questions and suggestions are welcome - please!
PAUSE THE SLIDESHOW, THEN START AT THE END OF THE SLIDESHOW, AND SCROLL LEFT
... I don't know why it put the photo's in backwards.

That is a VERY cool project. I love the use of aluminum with the tie bars...very trick!

Gotta love Jimmy "The Hair" Allan too...

Looks Great,when do you think it will be ready?i see the sides are a little lower at the back wont have much freeboard? did you mod the cmc power trim to change the setback?

Hopefully it will be floating for dunnville - not sure though.
What is free board? Sorry haha, I just don't know the term.
And the set back distance is the same. I just had to mod/widen it to fit the engine... And there was a lot of unecessary weight on it

yes that was my hopes to but i have a feeling i wont be or itll be close,
was referring to how high the sides at the back will be out of the water when sitting,
i like the looks of the cmc trim unit, but knew they were heavy, not sure if anyheavier than building your own jackplate and yammi trim

With the back sides lowered, with only a 2cylinder engine on it, I imagine it will be fine. (More like I HOPE it will be fine haha). The boats buoyancy hasn't really changed other than it is lighter now.

There's been another set back in the construction of this baby. Things were moving along smoothly, but there was a f*&$ up so we've had to back track a few steps and undo some work. Really don't know if it will be ready for d-ville. Not giving up yet, just giving an update.
