Finished my FRS-15 a few days ago. Can’t say enough good things about this skiff or the designer. Learned alot and look forward to my next build.
I’ve been building airplanes for the last 20 years so lots of influence from that in this skiff. Used kevlar, carbon where appropriate, glassed everything with 8oz. Tried to keep her light. With the Suzuki 30 it is scary fast. I’ve seen 34mph so far and have not got it trimmed just right. If I had it to do over a Suzuki or Yamaha 20 would be the power. The 30 is just way overkill. Surprising how well it takes a light chop. Still a few tweaks but loving how she runs.
