Jenks Craft
Submitted by colesy777 on Tue, 2009-11-10 11:18
Hello All
A couple of years ago i bought a 25ft Jenkscraft, I have heard only good things about these hulls and now after owning one and putting it through some pretty rough condititions can vouch for there great ocean abillity, especially thier dry ride. (surprising as hull has hardly any flare) Does anyone know where the design has come from or any history on these hulls? Maybe had one?
Cheers Jace

The hull definately has the lines and shape of an offshore race, so narrow yet remarkably stable at rest.
Im not finished with the boat yet, i want to replace the winscreen and canopy with a bimini style, anchorwinch and bow sprit etc,and when the motor eventually dies replace with a 320hp fuel injected volvo penta duo prop. Im hoping to achieve about 45knots insteat of the 36kts i get now.
