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!

PROP testing :rolleyes: Is Clark there :evilb: :D

Heck, no!

We're trying to make it go FAAASSSTTER, not SLLOOOOOWER.

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

As the prop turns :evilb: :D

To many of those Lites and Hinnies:evilb:

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.

OK be like that :mad: we've been patiently waiting all evening for you :rolleyes: Joking aside i can tell it ran well for you today :cool: Just wait till you get it home. 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 !

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

congrats :cool: Its easy to tell you are a happy man tonite. The boat looks beautiful. Get those pics A.S.A.P I hope you got some cabin shots.. Way Cool man, very happy for ya

Oh, the 5 bladers came off before we went out and were replaced with stock 32's. They seemed to do fine....but what do I know. :D

Pat, you have permission to do ONE speed pass with them next week to verify they are good. ;)

I detect some type of conspiracy here :rolleyes:

I have to do some brightness ajustments on most of the cabin shots before I post them, but this one will give you a flavor of it. My Diane was very pleased!

Oh, here is another good cabin pic. Love the stainless fridge.

I liked that stainless fridge when i saw also :cool:

One more cabin pic. The yellow paint on the bomar casts a yellow tint on the v bunk. Pretty cool.

And the twins. :D

Mac,
Ever heard of ANSWERING your phone? :)

When is delivery to VB?

Huh? I suspect you were trying to call me when I was 37,000 feet up! And I'm still not back to earth!!

No schedule yet. Trying to line up a hauler. Wanna drive that beast of a truck of yours down to Florida? LOL :D

Couple more pics. I was tough getting any good side shots where it was parked. Has Jassman's Nortech right next of mine. Beautiful boat dude!

Here is the yellow light I was talking about. Kinda neat eh?

One more of the bow. Can't wait to get a good helo pic this summer.

Mack I told you that you would be pleased.When I was there last week the boat looked sweet.My fav is the cabin.Exactly Like Nothing Else.Congrats and permission to do a speed pass well why do you think I was down there last week.She runs great.:evilb:

Hey mack, boat looks great. Cant quite make out the boat next to yours, looks familiar but not sure:D If you have any more pics post them. I agree on the blue transom, amazing what a few Miller Lite's will do.:drink: Your dash looks great, I like the blue, and blue carbon, but really like how the orange over laps, makes it pop, I give it a 10. The cabin looks extremely plush with the stainless fridge, and very cool looking carpet. Xtremely nice set up, good luck with it.:cool: Jeff

Where you going to run to?
I might see you out - MAYBE. Looking to re-assemble boat today and hope to splash Sunday. All depends on some paint that has to dry.

No, but you can. AND you can bring it home on my new Myco, which should be ready at same time.

Well, that's an idea, but I doubt the PQ will fit in your truck. :rolleyes:

Check this out....they even put an AC vent in the chitter! :D

Wow boat looks awsome. Congrats I know your a happy man:D :cool:

That way you can run ac duct to the magic cooler to keep the drinks cold.Come on Mack get with the A/T program.:D

If the weatherman is right :rolleyes: probably lynnhaven. I'm trying to coax Mack into going for a ride. I've heard he's a bit on the conservative side so i offered to buy :evilb: :D

and that vent blows harder than any of the rest :cool: it feels like 10 degrees colder in the head when you open the door :eek: Mack the interior looks awesome with the light grays and stainless/silver combinations.

very nice looking boat macklin, you have got to be pumped!

again congrats!

that thing is sweet!!! if you find me in the cabin just dont wake me. congrats she is awsome.

Another awsome active thunder, congrats that is one sweet ride.:drink:

Oh, so you got one too! :D

I just told Diane about that vent. She was so happy because....she will be cool while getting primped for the Saturday night poker run parties. :cool:

Thanks again guys. I'm still beside myself on this...investment. :rolleyes:

The boat looks GREAT, Green stripe and letters look awesome

Congrats again, don't think I would get any sleep untill I had it home!!!

Oh man, that hurts. :rolleyes: :p

But true! I think I already told you guys what my nickname is within the club.

And your point is....

Congrat's Mack! Cant wait to see it in person, I saw the old PQ on the wash rack today.

I just said what i had heard :rolleyes: Could it be true ? :eek: :D
