I finally got wet today with the Fiberform restoration project. it went as well as i had hoped and better than i expected. Need to play with engine height and trim as you will see in the video (which is a little overproduced, but fun... all 7 min of it lol!). I amm running a 1976 Johnson 55 HP Seahorse with a Solas prop with a 17 pitch. I made 28 MPH on the GPS at 3/4 throttle at 4300 RPM and pushed 33mph at WOT @ 5200RPM (still had a it more push but wasn't going there just yet). 3 adults and 2 kids onboard after I decided it wasn't going to sink or blow up. lol! I am very pleased with the results we got. Now to tinker...
