It was not dialed in for top end as my 11 yr old likes to go tubing... so I needed the pick up.. check with Charlie as for the preformance he has had it out several times. It is truly a great boat but like I said...it is time for a larger one....

Top,
Going to stay with the BIG V-8 Evinrude that he boat came with...I think it gives it that "OLDSCHOOL" Look... thanks, Joe ***What do you think it will run with that power** ***I would like to speak to you in reference to motor hieght and props***:evilb: Hi Joe, Your boat will run 65mph with a V8 Johnson if it is stock. I would run a 24 pitch chopper, (4 blade). Adjusting height, shaft length and set back would give you a bit more top end, but you should have trim tabs if you set back and jack. Also, I recommend dual ram hydraulic steering with heavy duty lines. I ran a 17" hydraulic bracket with a 20" shaft and a 24p chopper. Powerhead was estimated to be 360hp (4.0 Liter). :drink: |

Thanks, Joe :drink: |
Well now that hull # 3 is leaving my yard I was feeling like I was left out. So I decided to pull the trigger on this boat. BCV00190678. I have already started on it. Just need to decide on keeping it a sterndrive or going bracket.

perhaps twins a pair of 383 strokers might push that boat along. Not sure if I am worthy of a Top Banana clone but perhaps a Gone Bananas clone besides what color is hull # 6 now thought it was black. Perhaps a yellow stripe on there some built sbc's and a yellow 3man bolster.

In a semi-unrelated fashion, does anyone know anything about the Banana with twin 2.4s that was advertised in Yarmouth a few months ago?

Nice job Joe, who is doing your glasswork??
