      Nope - huff-n-paint (Josh Huff) owns the shop and does the paint and such and Bruce is a jack of all trades who has been doing a lot of the glass work and such who works with him just on boats. Thanks for the other info!

          Got it wet today finally to test everything out - still have LP and cushions and some odds n ends to finish up. No leaks, seems to sit well in the water, and rides great! Thinking of going to a more aggressive prop - for whatever reason we went with a cyclone 4 blade when we first powered it and it’s been great but it’s a 17 and this thing gets up on a plane so easy I’m thinking of going 19 or 21… what are y’all using with similar setups?

              Looks great, on props if you need stern lift a PowerTech OFS4 19P would be my prop of choice to try. If a 3 blade a Mercury Tempest Plus or Mirage Plus

                  Marathon for Mini Season - boat ran great didn’t need to trim too much with fuel tank moved forward even with full tank and gear/full crew on board. No Porposing with prop down and minimal trim tab. Really happy with the bracket and can’t say enough about NextWave Marine down in Miami for the build quality, customer service and price!!! Caught a few lobster and a lot of 20-28 inch dolphin. Worst thing that happened was my dumbass jumped in the pretty water with my truck key in my pocket which fell out and I had to get a friend FedEx me my extra key haha but hey I didn’t get stranded and we had a great time in Marathon!
