Have fun Bill, hope you get some good crabs
We did get some Rock crabs and Red crabs because this Saturday, November 7, 2020, is the opener for Dungeness crabs.

I forgot to check the speed with the speedo app on my iPhone.
Flat out was 5,500 rpms and it would still stay on plane at 4,000 which was a nice cruising speed.
It is dimensionally close to the 15' Whaler rated for Max HP of 60hp....
I got a good deal on a used Yamaha 4 stroke 50hp at Sutter Marine in Yuba City.
It is 15'4" long with a 6'9" beam at the bottom rear and a deepV hull weighing 900# bare.
Perfect for two anglers fly fishing or 3 people conventional and crabbing.
Got about $6,000 in it so far.
I had one glitch......had two 6 gallon portable fuel tanks but when I switched to the second tank on the third day in did not work.
Still need to find the money for a good GPS/Fish Finder and a bow mounted Auto-Piolot electric motor.

Jerry's GMC HD 3/4 Ton diesel 4x4 will pull 12,000# and my rig weighs about 2,000#.
