Sweet rig for sure! Am I seeing that correctly that the lump is way up mid ship? I haven't ever a Hourston on a shaft drive, cool for sure.
225Aquasport Explorer.I did have it set up as a straight shaft inboard. I had just replaced the transom and couldn't decide on a pod with out board(s) or a sterndrive. Then I saw a rotted out ski boat with good running gear priced so low I couldn't resist, how hard could it be to install? Shaft drive boats have been around for a long time and seems like a basic setup. It worked better than I expected really. A little front heavy at rest, but came up on step real nice. I should have sold it with the inboard and command bridge setup and found another one to do a steandrive with, but it takes some time to find one, and then to get it across the boarder is another thing.

Where would the fuel tank(s) be with this setup? Nice rig!

nice boat, truck is pretty good looking as well
A few years ago my mom was on her death bed. I had absolutely no interest in boating or fishing. She told me to buy a tin boat so once in a while I could go crab with dad. Just to honor moms wishes I ended up splitting a boat with my dad. We went out boating about three times. It was alright. Then I reluctantly tried fishing. I thought it was boring and stupid and also though we probably would have caught something if just had the right spoon.
I needed to try that spoon, so we went out the next weekend, nothing. Then repeat that four weekends in a row and I finally caught a salmon. 6 lbs. On a yellow skinny g. The addiction was and still is very real. Two boats and three years later I averaged 60 days on the water per year. Mom obviously knew me better then I knew myself.
I have a 25 gallon tank on each side, tall and skinny, saddle tanks I think is the term. Also a 75 gallon tank right up against the stern, which could be twice a big if more capacity was needed.

The De is actually even cleaner than the Tyee and should boogy with the 150 Yamaha,my son's sure did.It was an odd buying experience the day after shoulder surgery and high on Morphine,my son had to drive and help inspect.I was glad to see it again today and confirm that it was as nice as I thought.No dickering on this one,sellers had a list of 10 serious buyers and dismissed others that didn't sound serious.Crazy sellers market right now.

I don’t think there is much difference in height, if any, on the hard tops. However, the skip tower model has a lot of head room.
Good to have you back.
