Saw the boat today In Highlands, Tx. Kenny was dealing with yet another trailer tire blow out. The boat looks awesome and the running surface is immaculate. No sign of the damage from when the drive tore off.

Pictures arn't much, I think my daughters horse was thinking about eating my phone and messed the lens up

The good news is I got a provisional commitment from Kenny to do a couple of fly-bys at our next Winternationals in January[ATTACH=CONFIG]553832[/ATTACH]

Skater 40. The studs broke on the drive, very common when u start extending it on the drive. We've broke many
We make our own now no issues..ours are about the longest ever used on a race boat

We use higher strength stainless
