After four months of being idled, I decided to throw the unfinished boat into the lake for a splash test. A 5hp Merc made it plane on calm water!
Fitted a 25hp Johnson for size. Gave the deck and the floorboards a quick coat of white paint to keep them cool in the tropical sun to prep her for The Easter holidays.
Trailed her past costumed penitents to the Hundred Islands marine park 200km away.
