What power is in the 01 you have? drive ratio? props? speeds? other than speedo, I haven't gotten to see what mine will actually do. Shos 77 on speedo, but who knows.
I have 1.65 bravos w/ 30 pitch labbed props. Spins right up to 5,000 even on both motors.

YES!!!! Thanks alot!!
I ended up getting one on Sat. (and then got this news Monday) did you win? I was trying to get one of several. Ended up getting one that was "buy it now". It showed up yesterday and looks good so far.
Your in Chesterfield, what kinda boat do you run? Maybe I have seen you on the James.

Just looked at your profile......Do you keep your boat at small boat harbor? I believe there are 2 32 suns there. I had a 29 Sundancer that was for sale on a WAY too big trailer sitting in that lot this past summer. Also ran a 21 Chris Craft we trailered.

He can keep the boat and pay a little interest for a year or so while he pays it off again. $1000 in interest is cheap compared to dumping the boat and taking a 5-10K hit.

Thanks for the "financial act together" comment...i try. I have considered doing this and still may. My concern is that this tax issue will continue for 10 years until the property is paid for. Then I will be is GOOD shape. I just don't want a loan to be a temporary solution to a long term problem. I earn a living on commission and am quite conservative with my money. The combination makes me cautious when facing new/ unknown debt.
I've probably jumped to gun....will be meeting with the accountant/ CPA next week to discuss.

Formuladude312.....Are your props spinning in or out???

Just got the drives back and hope to test run this weekend. The boat was set up to run in, but have heard I should turn them out.
