I ran it this weekend. Its not super fast with just me in it. Porpoises a bit. about 28. It will run about 28 with two though. I ran a steady 24.5 with 4 people. We camped this weekend and although I didnt GPS it, I had 4 people all our camping gear, way too much I may add. running up river and had absolutely no problem getting on step. It carries a load great! Also, its dang near impossible to get a drop of water inside this boat! |

Looks good man. I would be curious as to how much you think the modified Vin the rake helps with the slapping and the resulting spray? |

The speeds above are GPS speeds. The V helped tremendously! Super smooth even when riding across another boats wake and high and dry no matter what I did. |

24" sides. Im runnning a lot of big water up here in KS and if youve ever experienced the wind here in Dec you understand why I designed this boat the way I did. Its nothing to have 2-3' swells with white caps. |

I was thinking of doin a boat with the v up front. I want a huntdeck on mine though. Would like to see some more pics of it. Especially the rake. |

Ill try to get some more up. what exactly do you want to see? |

| Post subject: | Re: 1854 Uncle J almost done |
As far as the above questions. It is an increadibly smooth and dry ride. About the only way to get any water on you or inside the boat is to turn hard and creat spray and the wind blows it in. Ive been playing crossing wakes and all other kinds of situations and no slap no matter what you do. |
