Steve, Don't give him any more ideals. He already has to shorten this and stretch that.

Well I hadn't thought about making it float. I had thought of sticking the hot tub in it and parking out back. This ones shortened just a little bit. Big Grin

Let me see if I got this straight...the 22' was too short so you lengthened it, and the 23' was too long so you shortened it. You really need to put a new battery in your calculator...Big Grin

Test fit.


I'll be removing 2" lift blocks and adding air bags in front coils. I'm trying to level out the Barth.

Mock up of rear bumper.


Front bumper is straight and 3-1/2" out from body.


Rear bumper is curved. I can get it 3-1/2" out from body too. It needs a bit of trimming.

Length of body is 16'. Overall length with bumpers is 17'2-1/2".

Come on Capitan show him how much of a hull he would need to float this boat. It has to displace more than this skiff. Dustyjeeper, is your toad going to get a silver stripe to match the Barth or is the Barth getting a red stripe?
