Finally back on the water

[Chomper]

Well I finally mounted a motor on that new transom of mine and got back on the water. I pulled it 2.5 hours and around the capital beltway and it didn't fall off. I took her out this weekend and all is good, even managed to throw a few croaker in the boat.

That Merc 150 oughtta be a great match for your V-20 hull!!...

She did real good but I don't have any numbers. I wanted to get out on the water to make sure she would still float and get a line in the water. This was my first shot at hanging an outboard so I must have measured those holes for two hours before I could get the nerve up to drill that transom.
