The following weekend I put it in the water, went to put it in drive and the one drives did nothing. We found a broken prop shaft and linkage issues. Fixed that, got it running and than an engine started overheating. (Oil cooler and lines were stuffed to the gills with eel grass.) So that is the story.

They said they would pay for all damage but had to be notified within the first 48 after the shoot. I tried but got no responses.
Chalk it up to good experience/bad experience.

Any time we are lucky enough to see a Performance boat on TV in an advertisement, is great.
