 18 x 48 Uncle J with 36 PD
All 1/8th 18 foot long 4 foot wide 18 inch sides Square chine
2009 Stock 36 PD(for now)
Deep water +/- 27mph average me (190#) normally with 2 batteries and ice chest Shallow water +/-29mph with the same load
Deep water 20 mph- 5 guys (190# 180# !80# 200# 210#) bowfishing equipment, 3 batteries, two 6 foot alligator gar, 25 redfish, 120 and 70 quart ice chest
Shallow water same load 22 mph
Over all I really like my boat. I like boats that are wide open. I have had it for almost 2 years now and have put 500 hours on the motor during that time. The only changes i would make to my boat is loose the sport deck, get 20" inch sides, and make it 6 inches wider. The reason i would lose my sport deck is just because i like the look of a flat transom more. Reasoning for 20 inch sides is it gets hairy sometimes when you run up on a stump or everyone runs to one side to shoot a fish. I would rather the 54" inch wide bottom because a lot of my time is spent frogging and bowfishing in the marsh. I would do it mainly for stability reasons. I do hunt flooded timber from time to time but we drive the boat close and walk in so width is not an issue for me.

Its a review not a classified lol. Oh and another thing about this boat is it can dump fellow MMT members over the front at 2 mph

Two deep cycle wired in series. I just recently switched to 24 volt. I shot over them for 6 hours and they didn't dim
