Hot Boat Test

Orlando,
The 35 looked nice in the Hot Boat test. I liked the gray color decks. Also have you tried different props yet since you were about 600 rpm short on the test. Of course I think that 67.7 is pretty fast for that boat. I get excited thinking how fast a properly propped 28 with 300s will do. I am thinking that 75 will be real possible. Not sure how much the arch will slow the boat down.What was up with the loose attachment points and what would be the fix so that does not happen again?
So have you had a chance to start working up a quote yet? Also remember how I was saying that I wanted the back rest higher on the bench. Looking at the 35 in the test I would want it as high as the 3 seats on the rear bench all the way across with no bolsters. Nice article and keep up the good work.

Mike,
Hope all is well.
Let me tell you there were two things I shoulf of have listen to you on.
1. When you said take your time in the quote you must have a lot of cathing up to do after two weeks out, holy macaroonee!!!
and
2. To fill up the boats at that Wal-Mart by your place. After I filled up the cars there at the next gas stop even the car spoke back to me and said take me back to that Wal-mart, LOL,LOL not to loud.

I should wrap yuor quote early next week it feels like I'm putting toguether a mega yacht for you.

Would you guys be down here for the Don Aronow race next week?

That is good that you are busy, lots of people are not busy right now.
That Wal-Mart is the best gas prices in the area by far.
When ever you get the quote down that will be fine, I am just busting your chops.
I won't be down there next week because the week after I will be up in Myrtle Beach for a week golfing.
If I was building a mega yacht, I can only imagine the book of stuff that I would be giving you.
Anything shaking out for you from the Texas show? Hopefully you will be rewarded for all your efforts out there.
