Many (most) of our State Public Access ramps forbid engine power assisted recovery due to erosion issues that eventually undermine the ramp apron, causing eventual collapse.

Does that include electric motors?

Back the trailer in the water just past the top of the fenders and drive it till it bumps the roller reach over the bow while it’s idling in gear and crank it up tight done .... with a 13.5x17 prop I’m getting 38 with slight opposing past 34 ish... I’m gonna switch to a 4 blade prop to help the porpoising and to make less prop ventilation on full power turns.... it carves amazing and jumps on plane...I’ve had 4 adults and 2 60 lb labs and still did 34 with no proposing....
 
Beautiful work. What kind of shop are you doing this in? It looks awesome. I used to tig weld stainless and steel, but neve aluminum. Building an aluminum duck boat is my next goal but I'm not sure I'm detailed enough to pull it off. Thickened epoxy can cover a lot of sin.


I have a mig welder, not sure a spool gun would be the ticket for a project of that magnitude though.
