My latest project. 13ft Paradise/Playmate copy

I hate to mention this now, but you should have turned the arch around to face the other way, so you can trim up the motor when you need to.

Don't think trim is going to be an issue at all ! Talked to Randy earlier today.....said he was getting ready to run this ! Can't wait to hear how it went !

That is insane. Floats pretty good.

YEE-HAAAAAA!! Get much water over the transom when you came off plane quick? What a ride!

 

[WILDMAN]

It comes over the transom pretty good, but not in the boat.

i just took some time to read this thread........wow

HAHAHA Man that's funny. I thought the 225 was a joke too!
I wonder what the terminal velocity of the boat is?

That is just too funny though.

Can I come hang out with you sometime???

 

[WILDMAN]

I think if I was to open it up, I'd probably find out exactly what "terminal" really means!

I think It would be inter-related with term life insurance. All kidding aside the boat looks hot and you're the man for having the balls to get in it. Keep us posted on whatcha gonna do w/ it. Have you posted this crazy rig on scream and fly??? Im sure those guys would have a lot to say
I remember an epic thread where a guy wanted to rig a valero with a v8 outbord, and boy did that stir up some $#*t...

The whole build is on Scream and Fly. It has almost 12,000 hits already!

Just awesome!! I can't believe that motor - I showed a pic to the wife (who knows little about boats) and even she was like - holy cow!!

Great work that most of us can only dream about doing.

I had the boat at a gas station today and some biker guys came over and asked if the motor was on there for a joke! I said, No, it's on there for real!

That thing looks off the hook! Believe it or not, I have people comment every time I have mine out about my 40 looking big on the back!

I didnt follow the Scream & Fly thread. What changes did you have to make to the transom?

Now that I look at it, mine looks like a Sears trolling motor compared to that!

Cant seem to attach the picture......

I'll probably end up taking the 225 off the boat. It's a bit insane to drive. I'll runn it for a few months though to see what it will do. I bought a super nice 1996 Mariner 60. I decided to completely take it apart, sandblast every piece, and paint it black. Here's some pics.

You definately pay attention to detail, nice work!

Check out this thread! I had to show off your boat on another site we frequent. You should sign up!

I got the little 60hp all together now. It's a real "OFFSHORE" ya know!

[WILDMAN]

My interior is now done. I'm picking it up tommorrow. PPI sent me these pics. I'm gonna love this little boat!

 

[83PREDICTOR]

Very nice, now you need to get some matching vinals for the promax.

 

[wizard8575]

It looks like a toy in the first pic

Looks fantastic Randy! Can't wait to see how it runs with the little 60 out back.
