55" Segad Gas to FE build...

[Rob DeAngelis]

Rob I am really curious on how your build goes - I would of liked to have done the king of shaves 55"

ya the kos is nice but I just think the Segad finish looks better... and also the build is going to be posted every step of the way... as of now im laying down the fiber glass and sealin her up... throwin a little flat black as well to the insides...

Good luck with the build Rob. I've thought of doing one of those many times.
I like to run higher RPMs than some people, but I agree with the Canadians...that motor is better suited for 10s. In a boat that size, turning a larger prop at a slower RPM can help get the hull out of the water and lower current draw.
Ever thought of running twin? You could put two of those in there...
