Hello Fountain333

If you look under the Club portion of OSO, under N.I.O.C., there are pictures listd under Tom and Roses new toy.

Custom Ryder was spinning the props out with no nose cones, and we went over 90 gps. When we bought the boat, we did a sea trial with two 300 lb guys in the back seats, and two 200 lb guys in the front. That was with Bravo 1's, and it hit 90 mph instantly. The speedo's were still climbing, but I was satisfied with what I saw.

Over the winter, I did change the lowers to Speedmaster lowers, and per Donzi's recommendation, switched the rotation, so the props now spin in. Per Donzi, the speed difference will be big. I need to test to see the new resulting rpm and speed data results are. I will then put Herrings on. There is another one of these on OSO, with the same set up that I just went to, that runs 98 mph. The acceleration is awsome.

The factory white & red ZRC that Jim Weeks drove is at the factory being completely rebuilt, probably done by now. We called on the ZRC down at Hideaway and were told it was never involved in an accident and was being sold due to fuel and insurance costs. The boat is supposed to be an 8 out of 10 and a trailer is available. Anyone looking at buying this boat check the HIN with Donzi to confirm the prior ownership.

I looked at the boat at Hideaway and it is not an 8 out of 10. More like a 5 or 6. Gene Week's boat is still being completed to my knowledge. It's going to be a great deal for someone.
