These are pics of the boat floating with twin engines light on fuel. I was checking on floating heights. I also took boat for ride with twin engine set up , prop set up was al wrong. I made a special tie bar to run it. It was a very sweet running boat. I haven't got a third motor yet. I got some new props to try out. as soon as we get some more water in my lake to float boat again, I am going to test it out again. I have some more interior pics coming.

Pictures of the boat being put togethor. The engines that I put on the boat were 25" motors & I had to convert them to 20" shafts. The old engine room just has a floor in it right now, not sure on how I am going to put a seating arrangement in it. more pics coming soon.
