Project completed
 

I have completed the addition of the 8-71s and the hatch modifications. The boat picked up some speed and I think looks great.

Many thanks to Tommy at Chief for the help on the project. Rice Hauler was right, those blowers sure whine.

Labbed 30 Bravo 1s@ 5300. I saw the new Cig at Twin Rivers ---- Ausome boat. Did they own a Marina in New Jersey before they Came to Crystal River? I will be by tomorrow to meet you Trippin before 5. The power delivery is totally different now, I like the whine.

The way those Chiefs spool up now is AMAZING!
I don't think I've ever seen engines with the ability to rev like these do now.
Congrats on the completion of a true transformation.

Since I was there, should I share some of the new curse words you invented while working on the hatch modification, or just "close the window"!!!

Chasin' CA$H

Saw ya' headed that way on Fort Island @ 4:45, I'm usually outta there about 4:30. But can hang around if your coming. 352.228.9449, or you can call the marina 352.795.3552 and ask for me if you'd rather.

New owner has no Marina ownership experience but a savvy businessman none-the-less.

I will call you, I was out to get fuel in town. Going to run to Clearwater this weekend. I met John on Cutler Spur on the return trip from the gas station. Nice man and pleased to see another powerboat instead of all the fish and pontoon machines on the river.


All projects contain a few setbacks and then the Curse words.#$%^&*^^^%%$$# Thanks Mark
