OK OK!

I'm building a 338 Fat Boy like the one they are building for Louie. I'm using ASD7's and marinized LSA's for power. My goal is to contain cost and produce a reliable rig with a good power to weight ratio. We will see if it works!

BTW we missed you guys at Destin this year it was a blast. You guys looked great ripping the bay to Pensicola last year! Hopefully we will be able to keep you guys in sight with the new rig.

I'm looking forward to seeing this set up. Sounds like a killer combo.

Seems like there are a lot more Skaters with #6's than ASD's. Why is that?

that would be a dream set up ! Please make a thread on the build and results !

I planning to buy a new cat in the 26-30-32 range to be powered whit a pair marinized ls engines to keep it light ,I m very interested how your project turns out ! but pretty sure it will work !!

I have a stroked ls2 in my 21 v hull and it pulls real strong have got some big props on it just to try and it stiil pushed it to good speeds !

good luck

beautiful!! all fatboys have tunnel extensions??? this one looks like it does not have one.

skate do you have a ballpark on weight after she's rigged? your build sounds like its going to be one bad ass dependable ride!!

Beautiful ride Louie! Congrats Sam. If I could afford an I/O cat the setup you are building with the ASDs' is the direction I would go in also. Steve didn't show any interest in Destin this year. Instead we did Lanier and Jacksonville. We are going to KW again. You really need to go sometime. It's the best in my opinion. A nice winter break and then Islamorada in Feb. When are you guys fatboys supposed to be completed?
