Congrats. Can't wait to see it in the water and what it can do.

Are you going to get rid of the Budweiser sticker?

feakin OSO , didnt even realize there was another reply Jeff
yea , Bud is gone now , thank god it was decals
couple weekends ago was the first sea trial , only thing that really stands out to me is the steering , the cable just isnt cutting it
so this weekends project is to install hydraulic steering and sea trial again
on the bright side , with out any trim at all and 2 year old gas it went 55mph on GPS , should be a solid 65mph boat when all is said and done
cant wait till summer time !!!

I think you can upgrade those engines pretty easily also.

It's a cool old boat.

sold it to a guy in Philly , it was up in the swap shop for a month before i let it go , cheap , but i refuse to be a 2 boat owner

as for the upgradability of the merc's , if i decide to keep it more then 1-2 years , i'll invest in a newer pair of injected 250's or similar

What's wrong with being a 2 boat owner? Between my girlfriend and I we have 4:evilb:

some can and some can't , i'm sure with the 4 you have theres one that gets more use then the rest (the convincer i hope) , i keep the number capped at 1 so i never have to decide which one gets used , which one gets money thrown at it , which one gets waxed etc etc.

Hey what are you trying to say about owning more than one boat. Time, money, maintanence, etc. I don't see a problem :rolleyes:

I gotta find a way to quote your sentence under your name , Looking to trade 2 for 1 , that just about sums it up dont it ?

i've had the flu for the last week , and it was terreble looking at my new baby sitting in the driveway , and new parts stacking up on my garage floor , all this while not being able to enjoy the nicest weekend so far this year , god i cant wait for summer !!!

i really just cant wait to cruise my new boat over to Cobb island and back into a slip (not looking like a hotdog in a hallway) and enjoy a frosty one with friends
