Repair the hatch.......After the Shootout incident

Throw a upper gear set in the r/h drive, so
it doesn't explode ( like it's neighbor did) next
year.

I'd like to find a set of 2" shorties, since
I've ran it with 5 blades, it hooks up, guessing
there's more speed if you get them up.

Woah, that was you! We talked, well my dad and you talked I was looking at all the hardware on the dock, the 2 legged kind. Thanks for breaking your hatch, so I don't have to break mine. I took the slide tube off that night.

You wouldn't believe how many people came
by...asked what happened ??..... and said " Yeah,
I've ran with the hatch cracked open".

I have the video.....it happened very fast,
didn't even stop when it hit the end of the
slide tube....pulled the guts out of the actuator,
and over she went........And I didn't know it
was gone 'til I was off the course, taking the
helmet off

I have some neon lights to install that I have had almost a year now.

Plan to add some billet trim pumps for the drives and move them forward, and put the batteries in the engine compartment with some nice billet battery boxes, and just work on cleaning up the rigging in the engine compartment.

The wife wants me to take the boat up to Kustom Colors for some nices additions, but not sure if I'll get around to that or not.

Just very happy that the engines and drives are doing VERY well. Of course they only have 35 hours on them so they should be doing good.
