:D Do you have any updates on BUBBLES II?????????

Bubbles II the 10'er... Basically I ran out of $$ for the time being. So progress has stopped until I can get caught up with Dana boats. (should be caught up right after the 1st)

After that, just some minor glass work, and then getting it regelled.

Overall though things I going kinda slow because of $$.

The 12'er is still at Schiada. They will be filling the transom, and then it will be off for gel coat. Most likely in the next couple of weeks.

The 12 is quite a bit bigger then the 10.. I'm hoping for high 40's? Low 50's?

Really? 38 seems fast for that little of HP..

What pitch prop do you run? I suppose you don't have any idea on the RPM either? Or do you? .

As for the original subject of the thread.. the 12'er will be getting the trailer built for it right after the 1st of the year.

So there will be some updates soon.
