New Boat Build

[RiseAboveIt]

Building a new boat for my friend Mike. It's a 13'6" x 7'6" Predator Hull. Building EMT rigging for a AC 480 gearnose (No Supercharger) and a 78" prop. Don't know what prop yet. It will be a single front driver, double rear. Pulled the boat in the garage with the motor in the bottom of the hull. It is lite.Hull has slick bottom too. You can move it easy with one hand on that slick floor. Mike says he wants it to run the hill.

Anyone running something close to this set up? Will it run well?

I'm not running anything like that, but I wouldn't be going out on a limb to say it will run the hill just fine, imo

Thank you. I noticed the hull is real flat. 5' flat in front 6' flat in the back.

that boat will run anywhere you want anytime you want, as long as its set up right.

hey man from what i know and have seen it should do just fine on the hill. might not be that 427 you got but it should do real good. is it gonna be stainless or conduit rig?

 

[RiseAboveIt]

conduit just like dad's.

 

[Doughboy07]

yea man that boat should do a good job

Mike's a great guy. He's going to be riding with us. Just want to make sure it's just right. He was impressed with Dad's riggin. Should be real close to the same seat setup,so says the tape mesure. We'll see.
