Congrats Chad........now, did it run as well as the outboard in the rough water off Key West last year?

Boat looks beautiful, you did a very nice restoration. Get us some interior shots and runing shots with some big water for the website.

Thanks Charlie, yes she ran great !! We had smooth water, and we didn't really run her up to much, but we will get some pics airing it out before long, and hopefully some video too. It had the same smooth, stable feeling as the boat we rode in in Key West though :drink::drink: I was very impressed and it was well worth the wait !!

That is the point we try so hard to impress on people...... there is a noticeable difference between our 8 foot beam and the 24 footers with a 7 foot beam.

Run it hard, it can take it all day long!!!!!

Thanks Pasta !! it does ride beautifully, it rides better than my scarab 29, but my scarab only has a 7 foot beam too.

i don't have any speed numbers yet, except for 42mph at 3500 rpms with a 28 pitch 4 blade bravo1 prop, but like i said, we didn't really run it up on the first run, she had alot left to go lol :party-smiley-004:

Your ride looks like it is coming along nicely, thats a hell of a nice engine/drive package !! It is lookin good, keep up the good work !!

Shouldn't be very hard. We'll just shake up the snow ball globe. :evilb::evilb:

Actually, we will take out the cruiser and get him to jump the wake if he is not scared. :party-smiley-004:
