Default '69 Squid Lips

Picked this old gal up recently. (yes the name and colors will be redone exact No idea how this trailer made it 120 miles home but i shoulda bought a lotto ticket

She will be a knock around put up wet sandbar hopper, inlet/bridge fisher, booz cruz, tow to the islands boat. Simple and no frills, notched transom, small splashwell, flat deck with giant coffin/18'er console, natural livewell in deck behind console, and a built in freshwater tank in front of fuel tank. Power will be small block v6 ETEC...


Just a few questions so im not reinventing the wheel...

- fuel tank CoG? Will be doing something around 50 gal and 5ft long or so. Instincts say dead center of boats CoG..

-Deck raise height? (only thinking about raising stringers 1.5", deck will be 1" honeycomb.) Dont think i need much according to this old waterline...

Notch height? Read 26 somewhere. She will be pretty light!


Transom was already done in coosa and epoxy(lots of it). Not pretty but its solid so...
Gonna reinforce the stringers in their current form, and run a keel stiffener/drain first off before the real fun begins...
