thank you yours looks great i like the colors what size motors do you have in yours

[US MUSL]

Thank you for the compliment. The motor are 509s and I suspect about 550 hp each. 69 on GPS with 24 pitch Bravo Ones spinning 5100 RPM. It did 72 mph with 25 Hydromotive but was terrible getting on plane as was the mid range cruise. The Bravo prop put me at 51 mph at 3700 rpm. 90% of my cruising is at 3350 at 45 mph. Not bad for a 13,000 pound wave crusher. Not to mention suprisingly effiicient, about 1.3 mpg.

Thanks for asking...this is the original paint! The boat was wet sanded at the end of August before I dropped it in for Labor Day weekend.
