Working with Tef-Gel today. Not sure if you knew about or use this stuff.

IMO the best anti-seize lubricant for any metal-to-metal contact (bolts, nuts, threads, etc...marine directed but great for the trucks too.

B.O.W or West Marine and Amazon have it. $21 for the tube. The jar will last you forever. Just figured I’d share a good product since you were building your boat.

So, how many knots will this thing get up to?

 

[THE YETI]

62-63mph or so...

62-63mph or so...

I was going to say 50-55 knots depending on weight and T-top. Over to Bimini in about an hour!

That’s the plan, but probably cruising at about 38-40mph.. or less. Better fuel economy that way.

Of course and a chop or light sea will knock that down some more to make the ride comfortable for your passengers. My example requires one of those dead flat calm days that we see but a dozen times each year.

"Muh johnson!"

Our truck is, and always will be, stickerless.
