LOL you are going to compel me to go upstairs and get a pic of our 13' with a 250 HP Johnson outboard aren't you?Speed boat I use to have when I lived closer to water. Older 15' Bayliner Cobra with a 75hp outboard, I could skip across the water pretty quick with it.
Please do!LOL you are going to compel me to go upstairs and get a pic of our 13' with a 250 HP Johnson outboard aren't you?
I have done a bunch in the last 20 years however I gave all but these away.. last 10 sticks I did I gave to my Church to sell at their yard sale.. I am sure I have pics of them around here someplace..Do you still do sticks?????????

I used to have a little 10' aluminum flat bottom jon boat I'd put a 9.9 on. That was fast enough for me. Boat was only rated for a 4hp. I beefed the transom up to take the extra weight/torque. The motor weighed more than the boat.LOL you are going to compel me to go upstairs and get a pic of our 13' with a 250 HP Johnson outboard aren't you?
I did the same thing back in the early 80's in a Louisiana bayou.I used to have a little 10' aluminum flat bottom jon boat I'd put a 9.9 on. That was fast enough for me. Boat was only rated for a 4hp. I beefed the transom up to take the extra weight/torque. The motor weighed more than the boat.

Went tearing around like a mad man until I slid it sideways catching a chine & pitching my dumb ass out. The boat (with the motor kicked over & at full throttle) came right back around after me. I managed to catch the bow with both hands as it came directly over me, I shoved up as hard as I could & was able to drown the motor thus averting a certain serious slicing.
This is not my plane nor is it my picture so I couldn't tell you anything about it. Except the one I flew was based out of MCAS El Toro and looked astonishingly similar. What a coincidence LOLIs this beside the pool?
I can barely take off and land a cessna 152, wish i could fly some crazy shit like that. I need to go back to pilot training, just ran out of $...This is a Harvard AT-6. I did my pilot upgrade training in one eerily similar to this. If you want to know what it's like to fly one here ya go:

Flying is expensive. Get a couple jobs work your ass off and bank every penny. Then quitth e second job and fly daily until you finish your private. Once you have your private finished it all becomes so much easier. Flying daily changes everything too. In the beginning you can't fly once a week and learn. I figured this out when I was 16/17. I'd just learned to drive and realized that a week between flying lessons was to long.I can barely take off and land a cessna 152, wish i could fly some crazy shit like that.
