 1642 flat with 20 lt
Bought a 1642 flat Saturday. Came with a yamaha 25. Running this set up with 3 people and a gas tank it ran 18 and just me and The tank it did 24. The put my 20 hp long tail on today and with 2 people and tank it ran 17, with me and tank it ran 19..... slight chop and windy on both days.... are these decent speeds for this set up?

 Re: 1642 flat with 20 lt
Those pretty good speeds for that boat with that motor. Thought you were gettin a skiff?

 Re: 1642 flat with 20 lt
I was. But after looking for a Lil while and coming up empty I just decided on this one. Plus got a pretty good deal on it too. It's everything I wanted in a skiff just no pointed nose.

 Re: 1642 flat with 20 lt
Yea if it was a good deal then get it. I've been looking for a skiff for awhile and can't find one either but i'll keep looking. I got tire of messin with riveted junk boats so i can wait for one to come up

 Re: 1642 flat with 20 lt
Yea I was tired of looking. It's an all welded homemade boat with front deck/dry storage and then nothing. Completely open. Extreme metal fab had a good price on a skiff just couldn't afford that and a trailer so I comprised a little and got a whole deal.

 Re: 1642 flat with 20 lt
I think i would get a boat like that if the price was right. I just havent had any luck. Theres a guy on sportsman selling a skiff for 6000 for just the boat and motor. Im not expert at pricing stuff but dam thats just too much

 Re: 1642 flat with 20 lt
I know the boat. I contacted him but he told me 5000. That's the one with the 35 lt? It's a good deal being it has a 35 on it but I couldn't see paying 5000 for boat and motor and still need a trailer....... I picked this rig up for 2200.

 Re: 1642 flat with 20 lt
Best thing to do is click browse and then boats and look at all the boats. That's how I found this one
