But what a beautiful boat !Small V berth and very small, almost inhuman, aft berth.
After a lotta research I’ve realized it’s very hard to pack in decent sleeping space for 4 people in a boat that’s less than 30 feet. At least walk arounds anyway. They’re all tight for space.Small V berth and very small, almost inhuman, aft berth.
But what a beautiful boat !
Congrats buddy love those hulls!View attachment 102344We can put this thread to bed thanks to Wildthing's lead from the fall. Thank you sir.
This is my third whaler (twice the size of the others put together).
I picked it up and ran it back from the sunshine coast today. I chose a beauty of a day to run 4 hours (on the upside it was a thorough shake down)
Boat did surprisingly well. She's not small at 10 wide.
Time to add a rear steer, railings, seating, new pod, etc etc.
We were just chatting about those motors, the 3.4L? and how amazing they are. Great find.View attachment 102344We can put this thread to bed thanks to Wildthing's lead from the fall. Thank you sir.

Yes, the guy spent some bucks.think it was the old 27' guy poured a lot of $$$$$ into it .... hope you got home safe ...... thats a beer you owe me ....haha
The 4.6s. 3.4 are the 200/225 (non seapro). You can actually get a 200 in the V8 in some bass boat market Merc aparrently.We were just chatting about those motors, the 3.4L? and how amazing they are. Great find.
27. With the pod to the pulpit it's 33. It's a big 27. Exxpress layout so there's eight foot of width inside the cab as it's not waisting space to the WA. Cool boat. Merc turning at 3500rpm for 28mph.25 or 27 ?
That is a good thought and in the back of my mind. It is the cheap potential solution for sure. Way cheaper than playing with props, haha. It's just kinda patchwork and bothers me for some reason. Pod cost jumped $2500 since the quote given to me two months ago so I am more likely to try the foils out at this point.throw fins onto those motors, instant lift. just a thought, unless you are committed to a new pod. any boat i have ever recommended them for or tried on my own has always been a positive result.
Have you tried Curtis Fournier out of port alberniThat is a good thought and in the back of my mind. It is the cheap potential solution for sure. Way cheaper than playing with props, haha.

How does a company justify a $2500 increase in that short of a timeframe?That is a good thought and in the back of my mind. It is the cheap potential solution for sure.
