Amen. I boated enough in N. Florida area to know that there can be a lot of surprises in the water .... old pilings, oyster beds, etc. ..... and that a really light hull can sometimes get you in big trouble fast. It depends on where you ride of course, but it's something to considerWaterthunder wrote:I don't know what one weighs and I don't care I have no dog in the hull weight hunt. Me personally I like them heavy and stiff.

Maybe you need to come down to Camp Old Glory with you're family for a few days. Tire kickers are not you're customers, they just want free advice. Here, you will find "my family" are not tire kickers. You will feel welcome here. Go to facebook and search "Old Glory Camp".Waterthunder wrote:I don't know what one weighs and I don't care I have no dog in the hull weight hunt. Me personally I like them heavy and stiff.... I have had 4 different people call me today and ask about gear ratios. Every one of them has called back and said someone else said this. So I have done the smart thing I turned my ringer off its 4pm on Saturday no more phones today, I have learned Saturday, Sunday and all the holidays are when the most tech questions are asked. Everyone should be able to have a grumpy day.
I am truly sorry you have a family member in a situation like that I truly hope they get better. That alone makes me realize I need to get off the phone, off the computer close shop and spend a few hours with my family!
It's called hurtfeelioma. It is very devastating condition that is spreading like wildfire.Waterbugger wrote:Dang thin skin, you need a lesson in old school cracker. He did answer your question. Let me do some translation to Yankee so you understand what was said. A cottonmouth hull is built one way and one way only. You either want to buy one or you don't. You will get the hull the way it is built and it will be a good quality durable fiberglass hull. Typically a person wants to run a particular hull because they know someone who has one with a particular set up and they have been around that type of boat and like the way it performs and that is why they want one. It is what it is. If you call your therapist she might be able to unhurt your feelings from this traumatic experience.
Sounds like he answered your question.Hawt-Dawg-87 wrote:I'm just trying to build a lightweight boat. I have a 4 cyl cont. pe90/520 swap need a better hull thats strong and light weight. .
