Thank you
It was great to meet all of you that stopped by our in-water display.
To my current owner's, thanks again for stopping in and promoting the boats to the audiences. Looking forward to next year already! Pat |
Re: Thank you
Pat, it was great to catch up. The new boat looks great, and the 33 should be mind-blowing. Thanks for the ride, and I sent you an email.

Re: Thank you
Pat, thanks for the demo. I saw the 33 @ your shop on Friday and was very impressed. I will send you an e-mail in the next few days to discuss a new 33. Joe Murray

Go BIG or go home, right !! Could be too much, but I will let Pat tell me that, maybe scale back to twin Ilmors :D |
Re: Thank you
Actually, twin Merc 700's in that 37' would probably be the right ticket :drink:

Keep an eye out for Docmanrich37 posting his results in the coming weeks. He is crossing the Ts and dotting the Is on his Whipple install on twin 525EFIs as we speak. 700+HP each? :D :D |

It took 'some' of Pat's own time to get the boats dialed in perfectly, but I do know that both of the ran/run like raped apes. Both were consistant 95+ mph performers with stints at triple digits.

Dan's (asswipe) was slightly quicker. Pat set the boat up for top end so getting out of the hole was a PITA, we did top out on the way back from the keys with three of us and a little under a 1/2 tank @ 98.4 mph and ran out of room before we went under the Miami bridge off plane. I then played with spacers I believe an 1-1/2" and topped out somewhere around 95-96 on the GPS. Much better and user friendly. DOCMANRICH37 good luck, should be a screamer, at least thats what she said :drink:

Oh ya, remember when on the first run back from the keys with the TMP boys we were running against a triple 900 41 or 47 Apache and we were just pulling away. Oh ya, remember on the way back when you were running real hard against that 38 Donzi with 575's, smokin it's doors, and I was in the back seat with the girls :evilb: trying to keep them company, never mind, it's best you don't know about that. :drink:

:drink: and to think that Donzi had 496's, hell they weren't even HO's :D on the serious side now :rolleyes: ... Im trying to finalizing my boat deal, I will get with Chris on the redo for you to paint it, thanks Jeff |
Re: Thank you
The boat ran excellent, it was just that we threw it in there at the end of the project. Pat was very accomadating and did a great job with the install and the boat ran awesome. It did take considerable amount of time to dial it in...the motors that is..between fuel issues, computer remapping etc it was a pain for Pat ...The boat did run 103 at Lake X... :D
Jeff is right about one thing...mine was faster...and I am talking about the boat.. :evilb: .I meant that it was stock power for me and not that i regretted doing custom power, I am looking forward to my sunpad and my mercs. We are going with the ITS system though and I am anxious to see how that runs... |
