spent some time if Florida checking out my boat during the making of it.
There is nothing wrong with wood in a boat if done right. My whaler is a 1970 and still solid as a rock. Biggest thing is to keep it covered not allowing standing water on the floors.

One of the boats I ran around this past summer was a 2010 24 skeeter with a 350 yammy. Great fuel consumption. We were loaded with 5 people one day and got 65 mph.

For four strokes, I love Yammy motors.

Cruised at 45 and sipped fuel

Sorry but I'm not wrong here. According to skeeter max hp on that boat is 300. Not saying he didn't have a 350 but it would be nearly impossible to get the boat insured with over the max hp, not to smart.

I have a 150 Yamaha. Great milage, except for WOT.
When you hear that Whoooomp, back off a little or pay out the azzz.
I filled up my truck and boat last night.
Boat was half full, took $88 to fill up the other half.
Truck was almost empty, credit card stopped me at $100.
