It's all about hiring good finishers, Mexicans have ruined the market here so, good finishers are easily hired, if you actually pay a decent wage. I sub all my boardwork out at .85/ft five years ago it was $1.10/ft I've heard the tacos are doing it at .65/ft

Thanks. Mine seems to be a light boat. Its 17' and its got a 1984 Johnson 115hp on it. Moves it along pretty good.
Let me know if I'm wrong,,but....
Your's look like to be the Johnson Deluxe Runabout ,,made from 1962 to 1969.The full wrap windshield....The first models had this cut out in the middle in front of the bow..Yours is a very,,very nice example of now days that people dont see of what OMC put into their design so many years ago...
I take that back..Evinrude sweet 16......I kept lookin at the hul line......Yours gotta be a Evinrude hull....

It is a bit more modern. Has a 150 merc on the back. Not a race boat but they are for fishing not racing anyhow.It will run low 60s

I could be totally wrong about this but that looks a lot like one of the small boats in the James Bond movie Thunderball. I'll have to see if there is some info on that online.
Mr. HE
I think the one your thinking of is a Glastron CV model. That's what Bond used.

That's still pretty quick. I'm hoping to get 50mph outa mine.
The hull line had me confused...
I can get 40mph outta mine ,,and thats good for she's heavy....Funny thing about these boats,,and you tell me if I'm wrong,,you can turn em on a dime....I dont think you can flip one unless it's modded.....I did some insane turns with mine and it hugs the water....

I guess my Bing.com foo is weak today. I can't seem to find what kind of boat it was.
The one I'm thinking of is used by the bad guys to chase Bond after he has taken pictures of the underside of the Disco Volante. They have tossed the grenades at him while he is swimming away. Then they chase him to the big catamaran in the boat and hit his scuba tank with the prop.
I'll keep looking.

A 1965-66 sports Evinrude outboard used in that film...
Is that the LLoyd Bridges diving mask in pic 1??

Mine GPS'd at 40mph with the old dead motor, it was a 1980 Johnson 115 with 1 dead cylinder. Now its got a 1984 Johnson 115 that is very nice. Turns ya. It turns real nice, only thing with mine is, I think the engine is too high, I have to throttle back bite in the turn then throttle back on, otherwise I get some pretty good prop slip.
Yup, I love it now, kinda thought it was an ugly duckling when I got it, but I really like it now. All that line of boats are very cool.

Nice! Fishing is relaxing even if you don't catch anything. I just use this boat for a lake boat, fishing and will be doing some water skiing this year too with the kids.
