Brian I have a friend that put them on a 36 Apache this season and he is THRILLED with the results. He tried several props and once he went with the Maximus five blades he was planning easy and just as fast as the Bravo XR 4-blade set up he replaced. With WOT runs they have not seen any drive temps above 140 degrees.

Well that is a really good question.

The oil pans are made by Baker and are a real high quality part. However they have some notches cut in the lip of the pan on both sides which expose the gasket. For some reason they are not sealing properly at those locations. We have done a little southern engineering with silicone but just cannot get them sealed up 100% and it makes a real mess in the bilge.

Thank you Thank you Thank you

We are sure proud of the boat. I hope that we are as lucky as my buddy with the Apache and don't see a speed loss!

I'll repo the 90+ sticker if you do.

Sorry for the delay in responding. My grandmother passed away last Thursday and I'm just returning from Arkansas after attending the services and trying to get caught back up. I went alone because the wife is actively involved in Relay for Life and this was their big weekend. So I rode the Harley out and set a one day distance record for me of 705 miles on Saturday and I did the whole 850 miles yesterday on the return trip and arrived home last night at 11:39pm. I want to thank Matt "HaulinVols" for his assistance in Knoxville last night during a very large thunderstorm I got caught in.

Now for the boat I have received a lot of really nice goodies from a company called IMCO.

I have also been in close contact with a new start up business in Bucyrus, Ohio and will be taking the boat back up there at the end of the month.

I'll keep you posted!
