It has a 3.5 gallon tank that fits perfectly in the 9 inches wide gunnel, and a hand bilge pump.
\nThe maiden voyage was extremely lot of fun. Took it out by myself.
\nThe outboard had a 9 inch prop, and it went way too fast. I’m going to calm it down. I’ll put a smaller diameter propeller on it, so it doesn’t go as fast. I think it was going between 5 and 6 miles an hour at idle.
\nIt was pretty choppy but the boat handled it really well. A little scary at first, then I fine tuned it and brought the trim down.
\nI just ordered a handle extension.<\/p>\n
