We’ve been batting the idea around. It would be EPIC. We’re sure a 16’ Flats (like Leadenwahboy’s) would be up to challenge. We’d be giving up a couple of feet of hull length to the others. But, the Bentz outter hull shape gives a very soft ride for its length. When/if the water was reasonably flat, depending on power on the transom, we could make nice speed. We are in the middle of float testing our prototype and we’re now sure it will be capable of carrying 90hp = redonkulous speed. What we’re stumped on is how to find a couple of young backs to take the beating. 'Would be a ton of fun, though.

That would be a hell of a trip with a tiller!! For sure fun but, for sure for a young man know that. I guarantee you to see some sketchy water before that trip is done.
