Took the Corson for a test run last night...
This is my first boat, first loading and unloading at a boat ramp, and first time driving a boat...
It went fairly well...

Ran into some engine troubles though...
But did have it up to around 33 mph when it was running...

Nice brisk october evening on a Maine lake... Look at that sky...

I was thinking of building one... Limington? Have you ever taken your boat through the Songo Locks? Oct. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

The bench seat was there, very crude, before I started restoration. I decided to keep it, albeit a complete rebuild. It's very comfortable. I am able to seat 7 adults without any problem.

I won't go to the Locks or any area around there because of the Milfoil. Our lake is pristine and every boat is inspected before it goes into the lake.The Town hires a guard that lives there 24/7 from april to October
