Yeah, I've seen that one too. Can remember who's it was though.

I've got stock 400's. Not sure about the speed. Haven't had it in the water since I've owned it. :(

I figured that I wouldn't get much more than that. Oh well......that's okay. Just want to cruise and look good with the family. The days with a boat full of bikini's are over. :( LOL!!!

I heard that 4 blade wouldn't fare well with the TRS drives............as they we're designed with 3 blade cleavers in mind.

Maybe some labbed 3 blades. Many places have demos you could try to get it dialed in. I know by todays standards mid 60's does not seem fast but remember you are driving around with a number 1 on the side of your boat which makes way cooler then most. There are quite a few little things you can do later on to increase speed.(roller rockers,crossovers,exhaust,cam change etc). I am also painting my boat right now, we are going to have to start a thread on all the Cafe's that have been redone. Where is Skramer he should start it.

A few photos of the tear out, and the installation of the foam padding to fill in all of the voids prior to the installation of the vinyl. They're still working on it, so I'll have some additional photos towards the end of the week.

Cool photos. Do you think she'll be done by the time the Miami Boat Show rolls around? I'll trade you a ride on my dad's Intrepid for a ride on your Cigarette, haha.

Not sure, when is it? Really, it should have been done months ago.....IMO.

Sure....let's do it!! :)

February 11-15, so a little less than a month. I'll be visiting then and also for 10 days in March. Hope it works out to catch up. At the very least, I'll wander over to admire the progress if she's still at Hidden Harbour!! I see you live in Jupiter, it the boat headed there when it's completed?
