Lemonscraft

Alright, gas is expensive as chickity china the chinese chicken, and im tired of asking my friends for pulls and i want something i can ride behind during the week and it doesnt take an hour to put away. I have a 14 foot skiff sitting in the water behind my house that could easily be turned into a lemonscraft. its already wired for a bilge pump and stuff.

Can someone post pics of the lemonscraft? what hp should i get and where can you get a tiller 30-40? Question

And how does the tower not rip the boat in half?

Lemonscraft is my fav kind of boat

You could get away with having a 25hp engine if you arent pulling anyone to heavy.

You can find hand tillers on craigslist. I think thats where Nick got his. I would get a 4 stroke if I were you because they are better on fuel.

Those orange life vests just add to the effect.

F/S_Kid, They are in LA where you have to have CGA approved vests to be on the water. Thats most likely why they are there.

that's so sick
i was thinkin about that early
how someone should make a boat especially designed for fuel economy but be able to pull someone
and then was like wait
that's a flatboat

so the rope doesn't drag in the water when it gets some slack

Hmm thats understandable, seems like an expensive way to go about it though

that's a relatively cheap tower, my friend and I are building something similar to the lemonscraft but we're considering going with a console/nontiller steer boat and welding a simple tower together. I have heard that the tiller is the way to go but a console and steering wheel with a 40 horse seems like it would be the shizzle.

Soulprogression, center console FTW... most comfy when you have to be captain. spend a little extra and get a nice steering wheel. and you would be surprised how cheap it is to put a stereo system in that beast. Smash

i've got a center console. not the best for like all around comfort for everyone else, but it's really sick whenever you've got to drive it.
