A little interior structure going on

Todays progress

Flipped her back over and dropped in sides today

gave her the flip today to weld the bottom hope to drop sides in tomorrow

Day two, project now at 9 hours

Only problem is the 275 measures out to 29 actual hull length , then 31-1/2 with offshore bracket just not sure twin 150's would be enough. but the study plans are ok for $30.

Here we go again, Now that the offshore boat is done and willie boat is sold its time to start the new build. New guide sled is a 6 degree 22' open guide boat that will be powered by a 2012 Yamaha 200 SHO with a pump and a new 9,9 kicker. here's a few pic's of the first days progress.

But it sure looks nice.

What makes a great jet boat is not how fast it will go but how slow it will stay on step. Oh , great looking little boat, that would be a fun one up clear creek off the Tananah

Awesome modifications, cutting her into and adding on? thats what I'm talking about, good stuff for sure. are you doing all the work yourself?

I had to have a complete survey and apraisel before insurance company would agree upon 190K replacement value

Oh I agree a walk around would be nice, but the first pics of the Armstrong were not a walk around . Everyone has specific needs in mind when they start a build and all of mine were met. I may run this one for next tuna season then hang a for sale sign on her just cause I really enjoyed building her...

Hey Buck3 there are quit a few pics around the forum on my first trip thread and build thread, but thanks for the kind words, I'm really happy with her so far. and yes theres alot of deck space.

My all time favorite would have to the one I just finished building, but I'm kinda bias

This winter, I will finish the wood trim work in the new offshore boat, outrigger changes and a few other small items. The river boat left two weeks ago so I'll start the new open guide sled in another week or so.

Dave we'll help you anyway we can you know that, I just think you should run a few of your questions by( K Morin) and Chris Tucker, a few of these guys on here have done alot of this type work. And they can answer most of your structural and handling questions. Keep in mind that getting the old mate...

Ok , Pacific metals in Eugene actually is the stocking branch for all of the others, they have some basic chine and keel extrusions but most of the really cool designs are owned by other boat manufactures. Actually working on a deal with a manufacturer to do a design build kit for a 21-1/2' 5 degree...

Silver Streak is a very well built boat, you'll have many years making memories in her. Congrats

I believe chris Tucker told me once that 1 cubic foot of displacement equals 60 lb.s of floatation, but I'd email chris or Kmorin to be sure

Great pic's and thanks for sharing

Where did you find this picture ? and does this design work? I have heard alot about a tunnel to prop design and have been considering Checking into it for my next build.

Yes I'm building it myself this winter, I've gave up on plans and will design the boat myself and build exactly what I want before springer season. Not big on extrusion boats but seems to be what all of the jet boat guys are doing.

Looking to start new open jet boat project and looking for a supplier for keel and rail extrusions. Any help with this would be appreciated

OK so now that ReelSong is on the water and fishing, I have a buyer for the river sled/ my guide boat. I think I'll build a new one this winter but cant find any plans like my Willie Predator.I'm looking to build a new 22' 5 degree open guide sled just like my old one with all of the updated options...

Cool little bugger
