The Shell Lake floats!

Well the little Shell Lake (if that's what it is) got her belly wet today. I slipped the boat in for a trailer test (new roller bunks), ran her wide open for a throttle test and fiddled with the trim.

Having the smaller motor and steering from the front is like night and day. I managed 30mph wot which was pretty close to what we reached with the big 50hp. She planes very easily without any stern squat or bow lift.

She's just a peach!

Lookin' Good!

A Peach, Indeed...

Zachary -

The boat looks beautiful--congrats on doing a great job!

I'm pretty sure it is a Shell Lake, from the research we did. We couldn't find another boat with the unique combination of little fins, shape/design of the splashwell, and the deck seams.

Are you bringing it to Alder Lake this Saturday?

Great job Zachary, that should be plenty of power to tow a couple boys on water skis.

Super job Zachary, looks great. So glad to hear the motor worked out so well. Fun boat, love the windshield. Can't wait to see it at one of the meets. Saturday?
