Mike's boat pics
Bought this boat in '01, it was already painted this way in '98. This is one of the few that have the flat engine hatch on it, not exactly what I had in mind. As you can tell, I had to do a bit of modifying to get the blowers to fit. Called Hustler, they wanted $5000 for the rear hatch. So me and the backwards cowl induction became close friends real fast. Had the bottom worked on and straighted up a bit lsat summer. Boat has a really good attitude at high speed. I love the boat, but it eats drives like crazy. Though about B Maxes or sixes, but figured it would be best just to sell the boat before I got in any deeper. Hope you guys can stand looking @ the boat pics, sorry a/b the disfigured hatch. It's all I could come up w/ at the time.

I chipped the bottem up getting it on & off the trailer at some pretty bad ramps low tide conditions not to mention the logs in the James river every weekend. I had a local shop fix the sharp edges & it looks real sharp & straight.

I'm running XR's or what's left of them a friend has replaced gears,shafts,bearings,top caps & so on. My driving habits have changed a bit so the drive issue seem to not be so bad anymore.

Very nice and clean boat!!
Only a few hours away from me.
You should bring your boat down to Chesapeake, Va and some areas around here--great boating waters.
