Cool family pic. You look a little like a Korean dude I knew while teaching over there. He liked the outdoors as well.

Where else in the world can people like us do this stuff..and I dont just mean Covid... pre and post.
 And I mean the whole build/ thread to its final objective.

Now the bad stuff Wink  I read not skim stuff, and look at the pic in posts.. there is always some thing that pops up in the background..
 So going backwards up he thread.
1/ Those jackets have crotch straps stitched in .. we have them for the grandchild.. Do I see maybe one of them not cliped up right?
  Edit : Nope its the end of the strap that goes around the waist.. all good

here's how I store rods on small boats, tucked up and out of the way!

I had those.. mounted on the screw that mount the padded side panels to the gunnels.  The trouble is several where in the wrong place.. as step in the boat, where lean against with a good fish...etc...So I got a approx 70cm  strip double sided Velcro... and put the screws thru that.. its hook one side and fluffy the other. Got another top of the rear bimmini support..secure another 2 SB rods each side there...and lots rod holders..Thumbs Up

 Edit: yeah those makeral are quite a surprise. It like difference of being raised on watties spaggetti (snapper)...never had the real stuff... then one day you have the real stuff...Wink

Well done with your new rig.
A cautionary warning with respect to your method of rod storage.  Rigged rods with hooks and lures attached are just waiting to hook up passing legs.  Unfortunately I speak from experience in this regard. Ouch

The basis of my comment was that it does appear in one of your pics of the rod (in storage mode) that there is a lure attached with a couple of trebles swinging off it.

In my case after I had embedded one set of trebles in my leg I managed to drive the other set into my hand during the extraction process.  I was sober at the time but wasn't later.

I once embedded an 80g salmon ticer into my upper thigh. It popped off on the back cast. Well in past the barb. Ended up cutting it out with my filleting knife so I could walk back to the car. Fun times. It only has to happen once.

Nothing much wrong with those numbers. It's not a speed boat. 35-40km per hour will get you just about anywhere you want to go.

50hp Merc height looks good.. think if changed either way to 'fine tune' you would fall out of that ideal height.
 
Gearbox ratio Please check this  2.33:1
 23.4 mph @ (20.3kn) 5720 rpms
Thats 23% slip... rather on the high side for WoT

Need far more grip, diameter..which will result in a smaller pitch  to be midway in manufactures recommenced  WoT rpm range at normal boat load.
Test something around a 11 pitch and another 1/2" diameter.

Trimmed right up or trimmed to just before porpoising and/ or ventilation?

28.4 kn (32.7mph) @ 5720
2.33 gearbox
13" pitch
Diameter unknown

Hmmm thats a negative -8.2  something wrong with the data.
A negative slip means the boat is going faster than the engine Wink

Separate to the above..
 I dont have many small boats like this in my data base.
 Working on a 200 hull constant as a guesstimate puts the total gross weight on the water about 650kg
 Would t650 kg be ball park correct?

Gearbox is 1.83:1 (unless it's a CT?) on that motor so slip ~14%?

220kg hull + 112kg motor + 160kg crew + 20kg fuel = 512kg, ballpark weight probably closer to 600kg all in.

600kg plus battery , cables, sounders, fish bins... so 650 seems to be pretty good ball park?

 I queried the gearbox ratio above...asked to be confirmed.

Yes with post 1991 old gearbox   1.83  15% slip  which is high for WoT...about another 1/4 to 1/2" increase in diameter and 11 or 12" pitch ...
