What fiber glass cloth did you use?

Get auto trim tabs, they are so much better

Sunglasses = rabbitshi*

I bought the HydroSheild. And removed my Whale tail. It’s night and day diffrents.

Lake has changed alot since I was here. Nice to see a marina there now. Beautiful scenery on your way to Sequoia, thank you for the memories

If you wanna turn and get better bite. And lift at low speed You have power trim. Just tuck the motor in a bit. No need for the whale tail thats my opinion. I run a 30hp mariner on a 16x42 trim makes all the difference. I can eek out 31mph if i trim up as for as i can. But i cant corner without blowout. So when i turn i just tuck in the motor about flat trim and i can turn full lock at wide open throttle no problem. Drive your boat. I use an 11 and 12 pitch props

But will it hold me and my 2 children?

Watch out for the racist lake patrol cop.

They make 2 versions that don’t need holes drilled.

It looks as if trimflaps on the rear of the boat would do the same thing.. and if you install adjustable trimflaps, you can have a uneven loaded boat and still go straight..

Love these things! It tells potential buyers that the boat is underpowered and you should walk away.

You should tell mercury, Suzuki and Yamaha, none of the know this secret

Is that a Norriscraft? Looks like their paint scheme.

It makes a difference I can plane my boat at a little past half throttle

Do you buy project boats because I have a deal for you.

Obvi you need to re test with a larger motor... To see how safe it is.

Beautiful little retro pocket rocket (relatively speaking of course) that sips fuel. 🤩👍

I would've put a fifty horse on it if It were me

The correct way is balance, which is the weight distribution in the boat as well as its design, gas tanks, the position of the console, etc. etc. When you see a boat with trim tabs stabilizer... you should doubt its performance.The same thing happens in an airplane, its weight distribution is important, you will not see additional wings attached to compensate the imbalance.

I don't understand why the engine manufacturers don't just form the anti-cavitation plate in this configuration if they work so well. Seems like it would be better than an aftermarket add-on.

thanks a lot for the video

That drift wood is not hard to get through, and the lake goes on for miles. At full pool you can take your boat to Kirch flat camp ground, There is some very good fishing on up the lake, and when you get to the current its good for trout.

Your boat reminds me of the 1965 14ft Starcraft Runabout my brother and I restored. It came with a 25. It was not enough. The boat show had lots of great deals. We put a 40hp and it was a great kneeboard and tubing boat for 4 people. I now have a 73' 16ft with a 125hp. No reason to spend 50k on a new boat. I like the colors on yours. Very classic. We went with red top and white bottom.

Top RPM of 5100 with just you? What is the wide open RPM supposed to be, according to the manufacturer? Might be to large a prop.

Ditch the plastic get a permatrim!

Just got one recently and I've taken it out twice with a hand-me-down 55lb thrust trolling motor. Handles chop way better than I thought, seems super stable, and I did around 4-5mph with me, small cooler, motor + battery, and my girlfriend. Loving it so far, can't wait to go back out!

alles falsch gebaut. Die flachen Schraubenköpfe kommen nach untern ! Oben im foil die Mutter versenken.

Very cool boat, the style reminds me of my 60'

Used to go to the lake growing up in the early 70's thanks for the rekindled memories!!

I put that same hydrofoil on my 14 1/2 foot StarCraft John boat with a 25 Yamaha. Made a world a difference. It was nearly uncontrollable without it and it would porpoise uncontrollably. Now it drives like a new boat. It’s an amazing transformation.

Whats with the snowboarding goggles?

The best boat video I've ever seen; more enjoyable and relaxing than the three week European vacation I recently went on, thanks 👍 🐟🐠🐡🦈🚣🚣🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️

I have one on my boat and it planes on half speed and I like that alot

a bouncy house match so right for a vacation

passenger van airbags a better business

Love lake ,all is a nice trip !Hangout alot 54-86

Dip shite

Super cool boat.

are you trimming your engine

I think it cases more Drag.

Never saw him trim the motor up.😂

I’m running one on my 50hp on my 16 Klamath. Made a huge difference. For one your bolts are in upside down. I also trimmed mine after to reduce drag even more. Secondly, it would appear you have zero clue what trim is. With a fin your trim position is going to be different. In my boat it’s way more stable and corners better because it’s a hard v-nose light weight aluminum boat. Secondly with 5 people and gear I’m up out of the water and on step in 2 seconds. Lastly my top speed was about 24 without it and I’ve been as high as 32 with the fin. Again, learn what trim is and how to use it. I’d wager a guess you also have you’re outboard mounted to low or even too high maybe. It’s important that where the fin mounts to is in line with the bottom of your boat or slightly above. An by slightly I mean less than 1/8 inch. An yes, running a speed prop is going to change a lot as well.

I’ve been to Pineflat many times, but never on my own boat. Just bought my first and this was very informative!

Great explanation. I plan to add now to my 16 ft with 40 HP Merc!

The new 20 hp tohatsu with power tilt and electric start is the lightest outboard in its class at 113 lbs. ( its the same engine as 15 and 9.9 hp) . Wow , it’s surprising that upgrading to the 25 hp is 160 lbs.

Adding a "hydroplane/fin" to your outboard motor adds weight and drag. Hmmm thats better??

A fan of HERBERT the BOat trip on the Missisippi and would love to get in touch with the team that took HERBERT to New Orleans...I am part of a Hungarian team that is gathering info how to get a small boat like Herbert down from all the tributaries including Missouri down to New Orleans...plz let me know if you can share some of the logistics with us...thanx Cordially Tibor Spiegel

Ya because you have a rope tide to it tho of it flips I’ve in the ocean your done a ding will not sink tho

Absolutely beautiful boat that would be my dream boat

You don t have bigger sunglasses😊...we still see your face
