After my disaterous first year back in boating with my Stinger 390X having it sink and the insurance company telling me that my sink drain that is 3 inches above the water line is what sunk the boat (PROGESSIVE INSURANCE) and not pay the claim, we are back new TRS's new gimbals and no leaks. Mainden voyage on June 19th blow both trannys. back to the shop. Seems like its going to be another one of those years.

Mate, Welcome back! Sorry to hear of your troubles but it really wouldn't be 'boating' without them really!

Hope you get it sorted.

So Did they finally pay your claim..... or is it still in the courts

Still fighting with Progressive, the states insurance commisioner is now getting involved.
Ripped down both drives trannys are fine shredded the upper housing drive gear had a pair of extra tops and put it back in on Saturday everything finally running great ran the coast of Lake Michagan north out of Port @ 5200 revs and 64mph on the gps finally things are starting to look up i will get some pictures posted

What are you running for motors? You might have said it in another thread but I dont remember..

Running 502's dynoed at about 525hp and about 600lbs of torque at the motor at 4400rpm's that's been awhile motors are still strong but starting to pass some oil pretty common with the 502's with the siameze cylinders hencew the redesign and the 496 or 97. if nothing else serious this year hoping to go through the motors this winter.

I've been through a bunch this season already. Grenaded my 385 but managed to apply all of my resources and still have a running boat (Vortec 5.7L for now).

Hoping to keep it going the rest of the season.

Good luck with the insurance deal. They will anything and everything to avoid a pay out. Progressive is one of THE worst.

Hey Ghostrider got a trailer making it easier to get in and out of the water and summer is fianally here boat is being launched and the fridge is full of beer

Good luck for the season. Watching a few 390X's need one bad.

OK I have to ask..... That truck..... can you actually stop that boat really good at 75mph..... and have you replaced your tranny yet...... Not makeing fun of ya but thats a lot of weight to stop and to keep going down the freeway.... I would like to know can you pass on the highway real good..... I have a 2009dodge 1500 4x4 hemi and i pulled a 30ft scarab and its a dog to get on the freeway and scary if i had to stop!!!!!!
