29/30ft with twin 500's will be a pretty quick boat, your buddies will need more than 70 MPH!

I figure since I'm upside down in it anyway, with all the $$ I spent on making it fast, I might as well keep it and buy a plane too instead of another boat.

Ya, that makes sense! :lolhit: :drink:

Or...... You could leave the interior and paint the way it is and spend the money putting Whipples back on it! Gotta LOVE the whine of those things at 90+ MPH!

JS, Ok this sounds good! Bad Idea is like your kid now, kind of like Mark, and Dock Holiday. Sometimes I think thats why it is easier to sell a bone stock boat over a personalized boat.

Bring it to Ohio and we can redo that interior, and have Kustom Kolors paint it. Spend the extra money next year traveling with it more on poker runs. Texas is a dust bowl anyway, and you could leave it in other states and fly in on the weekends to party. OSO members could house Bad Idea, and use our trucks to ramp it on the weekends for you. Who else other than us Bucyrus boys is in on this?

XT :boat:

i would do it along with the Bucyrus boys

I'd like to do Desert Storm and some Florida runs in 2012, but really, after the 2009 season we had, it is gonna be kinda hard to top that much fun. I'm still taken aback as to how much $$ we blew in fuel that year! Nearly every weekend from Memorial Day to Halloween we were somewhere with the boat doing a run of some sort or just having fun on Table Rock.
I want to get that passion back. I think a facelift of the boat would help that along.
Here's to 2012 :drink::drink:

I want a 2012 like your 2009 sounded! I just need some surface drives hanging off the back to get my passion back. If not I will just have it tied up next to my cruiser while we party.

I think I may have found a 29. Question, how quick are these with HP500s in them? 75? It sounds like the carbed versions are well built motors as long as the valve springs have been changed. I dont have a 29 close to where I am but my friend has a boss 302. A couple of questions...the room in the 302 up top is great, I assume the outlaw would be a little less? and the v birth bed on the 302 is smaller than my 25OL. Would the 29 be more similar to my 25? The boat is running 26 4 blade props.
