This looks like a fun project.

How will you mount the bottom set of transom boots on the motor with the back deck positioned all the way back? I assume you're planning on an access the lat of some sort?

I'm planning on mounting the little 15 to a manual mini jackplate, it only needs a fuel line, so I don't think i'll have too much trouble

Probably a manual bob's mini, might make my own but I don't know yet, I'll cross that bridge once I get my motor picked up in a few weeks

That's what I've been looking at too. Seems to be the best one in that price range.

That motor is super cool. What are you thinking on colors for the hull? Seafoam green or blue with a cream white to match the motor would be badass.

I'm leaning towards antique white with red bottom paint to match the original super skeeter logo and motor. White poling platform and front casting deck as well

Might throw a small red stripe down the side but I'm not sure yet, I'm gonna play with it on photoshop

I was excited when I saw this was bumped. But no pics and I was disappointed.

Just saw that this was bumped...

Reds, I'll probably make it out at our fab shop. I might be able to make one for you at an OB price if you want, it'll probably be a month before I can get to it though
