Nice skiff, the dirt will come off and you will have a beautiful boat.

I would personally love to see the kind of person that lets a Hells Bay sit outside and get like that. I dont care how much money you have, thats just sacralidge!

removal of jack plate, addition of casting platform, Powertech 3 blade

Keep the jack plate. Just say'n.

Power trim and cupping on the prop along with sponsons will have you running in 10" 60hp(over 230lbs)

on a whipray with a 25(under 115lbs a jackplate is teh Ghoot:y:

Decode please... :stepawayfromtheresindrum:

POWER TRIM+CUPPING ON THE PROPELLER+SPONSONS=NO JACKPLATE NEEDED because the sponsons and tabs keep the nose down while the motor is trimmed out

IMO

unless you are really big and need to bring your prop another 6" out of the water

Larry's boat works great with a Jack Plate because the motor weighs under 115lbs
