Man, that is one nice boat!!! It doesn't look like my boat is going to sell and I am not going to renue the add. I might me high on the price, but I wasn't going to give it away because I dont really have to sell it. Your more than welcome to borrow my prop for a day. You were asking in other threads about a 4 blade hydro and that is what I run. I'm 95 percent sure you will beat me but I will have to give it a shot!!

We'll have to run them this summer. I wouldn't be so sure that I will beat you, only time will tell. I can't wait to see you and Sean on the lake we'll have to have some . Thanks for the offer on the prop, my buddy has a 24 hydro that I am going to try! You need to keep the boat, the hell with a family boat!

See ya on the lake,

Andy

Went out today for the first time. I was very impressed with the boat! It handled well and the 500 performed flawless. The lake was choppy, probably about solid 2' with an ocassional 3. I did manage to make a short pass at 69 mph and change on the GPS full with fuel and 2 people on board. I need some better conditions and more seat time, but I can tell you that this is definately a 70+ mph boat! I am very happy so far. I love the way the 500 sounds!

DT,

You splash that fountain yet. Lake Mich is still really cold when you are running but at idle it wasn't to bad! Nothing a few couldn't handle. Hell I even managed to get sun burned.

Sea ya soon.

I hear ya. I love to ride sleds, I usually go to Northern Michigan and ride every other weekend in the winter. You are not supposed to have to wear sled gear on the boat!

See ya at one of the Club functions.

What time did you go out? Sean, his wife, and I were out of New Buffalo yesterday afternoon. We only lasted for about an hour. I dont have a windshield and my face was getting numb. The water was nice though.
