Nice job with the project Chad!
How's she running?
By the way I would suggest running a 4 or 5 blade prop; 3 blades are going to be a pain out of the hole.
BBlades labbed with extra bow lift 28p B1 was the best all around prop on the Super.

Thanks Pat,

I think that is the prop I am going to start with, and then try a 30p, but bblades is out of the 30p bravos right now. She sounds mean, but haven't dunked her yet, just waiting on a ps puke tank and a prop......oh and the insurance surveyor

I have a 28 right now that is on the BAJA. He probably won't be using it for a litle while since he shredded his drive over the weekend. Be careful with yours.

By the way, I know where a whole bunch of props are that can be bought for a good price. and the rental fee is much better.

Another black boat has just been added to the mix....this has a big block.

Stated out yellow as shown....and now is painted just like the Don Aronow 32 foot Cary.....The Cigarette.

We must not forget that even if you are a professional, even you Charlie could surely appreciate a "pad on the shoulder" after working with the boat.

Looks great and I love the colors!

What BB-engine will you use?
This engine room Im very intersted to see.
Perhaps I may borrow some of your thinking on placing pumps, sea strainers, wiring etc, etc?
Horse Power?
Expected speed?

Guess thar the interior will match the color of the boat. Anything you could tell us about? Dont remember if you have informed us about if you will keep the sit down bolsters or make it a stand up.

Modern or old school dash incl throttle and gauges etc?

Lots of questions for ya...
