Get a picture of the light lay up poker run 40 with
the 1075's if it's there (or if it exsists )

I doubt if there's anything "top secret" ( like the 35)
the'll let you snap any photo's.


Good luck on you journey.

I picked up a boat at Smith mountain lake in Virginia
about 10 years ago.
The return trip though S.W. W. Virginia was "theee trip from HELL"
I'll never forget it

If it looks like a short cut, its probably not.
Stay on the interstates if at all possible

Thanks JT......you guys get trounced with snow yet? We are just starting to get some, altho it's been freezing raining all day today... The weatherpeople are claiming 12-14 inches tonight and tommorrow....

i'll take a pic of anything interesting. Actually, they were super nice at the factory, can't wait to see it.!

i brought my 2nd boat back from Tennessee (pier 57) in the worst rain i've EVER seen. I swore i'd never do that again, but here i go.!..

My last boat I just sold went to a guy that boats on Salorville (spelling?) you'll prob see him. it's a 232 with black and red checkered flags. Mark Duncan. Super guy...

We're getting snow as we speak


I'm shure we'll see him this summer,
being the ocean that saylorville is,
( during normal pool) it's hard not to see everybody.

JT,
What kind of performance are you getting w/470 hp? What props? I have a 29 with 454 mags (385 hp) and was thinking of having some work done this winter to bump it up to about 500-525 per side. Just curious as to what you are seeing.
Thanks,
Jason

It GPS's in the low 80's. ( ran high 82's @ LOTO shootout)
Props are labbed 30 bravo's

I'm contemplating some changes also.
Possibly IMCO 2" shorter lowers.

It's time to replace valve springs and lifters,
so I've kicked around doing cams and aluminum heads.

All this stuff costs $$$$.

I also have my eye on a couple of different suitable
replacements for this boat.

Madmax,

Bring your camera phone, and pretend that your talking.

Also, see what you can find out on the new 39' that is going to replace the 38 special.

Tony.
