The driver's door on Dad's 1980 Scout II fits perfectly! The passenger side door has about 1/2" to go and we're done with that one, too. Whew!
New Johns Lake + 22 mph + 2 rocks = ripped off skag on rock #1 and bent prop on rock #2. In 10 feet of water even!
The boat's been working great. It could use softer seats (oak isn't exactly forgiving) , a fish/depth finder and a trolling motor, but it's quite nice as-is. We've had it on New John's, Brush and the Missouri without any serious problems or surprises. Starts well and runs great! Now I need to learn how to fish.
3hp (if it was even 3) wasn't enough for the kart. It had trouble with hills, turning, tall grass and basically wasn't any fun unless you were on a smooth straight-away.
I like D.A.M. boat. Those of you who know my kids will know what that stands for!
Dad brought over some caulking/sealant tonight and I plugged the 8 holes in the transom from the broken/missing transducer mounts I removed. I used sealed rivets from the boat shop and was done in about 15 minutes.
