    I got bored when I was about to get laid off last year and decided to get myself a project to work on. I finished it just after thanksgiving this year, so I figured I'd post it up since I haven't done much posting the past couple of years. It's just a 12ft Jon Boat...

    Skip to 23 seconds, I'm still figuring out the idle issue.

    I got up to 25mph on the GPS. It has a horrible exhaust on it right now (literally PVC pipe with two 90deg elbows), so I'm going to do some work to it to make it quieter and less restrictive and hopefully get a couple more MPH out of it.

    It's a Kawasaki JS550 engine in a 78 sears 12' Jon Boat.
