Has anyone heard from Macklin??
 
I dropped him off at the airport hours ago and he said he was gonna 'belly-up' to the bar and then catch his flight.

Now he's disappeared and I'm concerned. :drink:

We hope he didn't stay over because we had some weekend 'plans' testing props on his new boat in the Keys without him!

However I did threaten that at one point....

I think he needs a 3 inch spacer or does he need to raise the motor, or change gear ratio...........I know LABBED props!!!!! Port should run a 32 and straboard a 34 that is the magic combination!:p

I'M BACK!

I have to tell you guys...the pics DO NOT do my boat justice. OMG! It is freakin' gorgeous!!!! Inside and out. Got lots of pics to post, but I'm too tired. Didn't sleep well last night and had to leave the house at 4:30 this morning to make my first flight. You'll just have to wait until morning. :cool:

Perfect day for a sea trial. 3 - 4's and she ate it up. I didn't push it cause I have like ZERO hours of seat time in this one, but I did run her up to 60 a few times. Love the punch these motors have.

Can't WAIT to get her in the barn. Pat, keep on it!! :D

Now, I just need to pound a couple of cold ones to settle my nerves so I can get some good sleep tonight! :drink:

OK, here is a teaser. Doesn't show it well, but the AT logo on the bow is stunning.

I ran mine in Fl. a few times this winter but i really got a new luv for it running it on my home turf last weekend. I might be back down your way sunday if its nice. You want to go for a ride ? and i'll buy the beer and lunch !!! :drink: :D Congrats again !

Macklin 04-27-2007 09:28 PM

Thanks Mark! I hear you. Let's touch base tomorrow.

OK, I'm too jazzed to sleep right now so here is another. The white is going away. Pat graciously offered to fix my oversight. :rolleyes:

Thank you sir! You are a gentleman and a scholar. Well...something like that. :D
