Dream Boat Update II
Okay....New Cig on order. Will be in the mold this week. Another '39 no less...I know I know....but you must all hear me out. I love my current '39 but decided to up the ante a little bit with more power.
I simply love the new Merc 1100 turbo's and think it will make an exhilarating experience and fun set-up for a '39. I spent much time with Fred and Mike of Mercury Racing in Miami. The setup is awesome. Possibly game-changing. It's a bad-ass engine on pump-gas (89 octane). I do like the 42XX but the '39 is a great boat for the lake I am on (Lake George) as well as for Poker Runs.
I will be using M8 drives over the six drives because it will enable the 1100's to be set down 2" lower in the boat than with six drives.
I am thinking a mostly silver, then gray/black (gloss and flats) stripes for the paint scheme. I will post the designs before the final choice is made. I hope to receive feedback on the paint design and whatever else I should be doing from the community here. Thanks in advance for all of your help!
