just thought i would throw some pics up of this boat i built last year. 1st time building one and it was alot of fun. i ended up building a transom on it and run a 6hp on it. we have also taking it down the shore and used it as a layout. i need to fix some stuff on it this summer but should be ready for next season!home made boat pics Pictur17

Very similar to the newer Hybrid NL. Looks good, how do you like it? Trying to decide between building a Hybrid or a Kara Hummer knock-off for some puddle duck spots.

its a great boat for smaller bodys of water. i made mine really wide but being so wide some times it is hard to hide in tight cuts. my boat is a full sheet of plywood on the bottom, so the bottom is 4' wide then the sides go out even farther. If i were to build another one i would go skinnier. i have ran up to a 6 hp gas motor on mine alittle to much but a electric motor is the way to go.
