2011. 15'8" x 46" Uncle J Mini-Me Edition Skiff.
All 1/8th Construction
21" sides
10"x5" Hunt Deck
Fully welded in floor

2009 35hp GTR
101 Hours
Everything stock but Prop
Tiger Prop

Test Run Results:
12 gallon Gas
Deep Water
2 - People. 190# ea
Held at 29.8 MPH


Today I was able to take the Mini-Me Edition out. I am unsure if engine is performing 100% of it's ability. I ran it on the middle pin. I was still able to trim without losing speed when I maxed out trim. At that point, Motor was turning 4050 RPM's.

Put a GT prop on it and you will get more speed out of it if that's what you are looking for.

Move the pin to the top if you want just to see what is the most you she will put out. Just move it down when you get in crap.

Is this the first skiff with a hunt deck?

Looks good. Built you a tank for the front and butt it up on the deck

It is the first skiff with a Hunt Deck that we have made. (I think. LOL) We have added hunt decks to many boats. Tenpoints was the firs skiff with one added two.

I'm looking forward to trying the factory prop. Also, with the mods that I'm having done, I'm interested in seeing how stuck I can get it. If anyone can, I know I can!!!

Gonna be exciting for sure. Oh I know you can drive it, Im just sayin, I dont think Ive ever seen a modded motor on a boat that size. You just might be able to make it all the way across that spot where it took 7 boats to pull the turtle across. :lol:

No update on the little skiff? Your prolly gonna have to weight that thing down for wide open throttle. That could be a fun show seeing it skipping across a mud flat.

Boat is working fine. I still never ran it alone. With two people, it runs good.

Can't complain...

That wasnt very smart to make it 15 8 in my opinion. four inches longer and you wouldnt have to wear a lifejacket in LA (if you didnt want to)
