Cosmic, Nice, I'm partial but I always liked that boat. How fast with the setback and what prop?.

It would run 70 to 72 but I had mufflers on it and kinda choked the power a bit. I don't think the ITS did anything for it at all but sure looked a lot cleaner and made it much easier to clean without all the steering hardware hang'n there.
If I remember correctly it had a Bravo 4 blade 28.
Just a great all round boat, wish I still had it.

When I bought that boat from Pat I was very close to make'n a deal on the Red one you have from the dealer that had it at the time, great looking boat you have there.

Thanks Cosmic, I have a new engine in it now. I can't wait to run it. JC Perf built it, here is a pic on Zul's dyno. Doug

NICE!!! What #s and specs.
Not hearing much from JC these days.
Nice to see him still busy.(or busy enough).

I will Pete, Flying full time international, running a farm and a bricks & mortar retail biz doesn't leave much time. But I did disappear to the garage a few hours the past couple weeks. I'm just looking for a few small parts to finish. I wanted to make JOTJ but I would like to run it a few hours before I do any poker runs.

Stormrider, My insurance co. will only insure a 28 Savage with a max of 500hp@ the prop. If you give JC a call, he can give you numbers of some he's done. I know he can build a very strong 525. Doug

Thats a pretty nice find.

I remember seeing that boat, maybe it was Racine, in a different life....... it would certainly make a fine rig for someone, and probably won't last long in the "for sale" column.
