Haha, poking in a Bear's den I see 😁

I can't stand how they ride.
My first boat was a tri-hull. It rode great (on the trailer). I paid $400 and used it 4 years. I sold the 70 Johnson for $700 and made the guy take the boat and rusted out trailer.

Do you think this guy was converting it into a house boat or is all of the hu-bub going on in the center framing for tarping purposes?

Quite an expesive project with untested motors if you ask me.

Of course that 70 would needs that trolling plate to slow it down a bit because without it would fly. Actually looks to be a good build so far. Pay someone to do what's been done plus materials and you are up there in dollars regardless of outboards.

I find it a little hard to feel sorry for him... On the other hand, I've also been guilty of trusting "friends"
