Default Re: I think I need more stern lift.

reminds me of a john dory that I had when I was 16.

It was meant to have like 9.9 or 15 hp.

I put a 25 hp long shaft evinrude on it and when I was alone on it it almost did the same thing.

Gives a whole new perspective to chine walking, oh wait, my dory didn't have any chines.

Put someone in the middle seat on a calm day and that boat flew.

The good old days when life was simple.

Well, at least he knows how to operate it. Was he really pushing that thing side-ways or was that just the camera angle?.

Poor adz if one of the residents forwards that clip to the cops. ( ha, ha!)

I think I would have been terrified to be the camera man. at the end he must have missed by about 2 feet. He really did seem like he knew how to handle it.

He has the wrong prop. Needs to down 2 in pitch. You can hear the motor lugging!

Its a fun little boating post. Seems others enjoyed it as did I. Somtimes I post stuff thats boating related but a little lighter in nature than the typical 2 vs. 4. vs panga vs. oil vs. pitch vs. garmin vs. you get the point.
Hey...you dont have enough posts to have an opinoin anyway...and no darn wheel either..wheres Wiley :D

No lifejacket or helmet either. Dumb.
I had a 16 foot lund with a 40 merc catch a gust at full throttle (about 40 kts) and come up and over. The stern passed the front and I was dumped out. The bow just about nailed me.
