Just got home from Mardi gras weekend and stopped to Casey bullet. His fiberglass guy is doing incredibly detailed work making boat structurally better than new where corners were cut from factory, I highly doubt this boat will ever get stress cracks this model typical gets. Amazing job Casey. I'll definately use this guy if I have any issues with my 38avs. Can't wait to see this thing finished. P.S. You all should talk him into bravo xr's and sell trs stuff as far as he's gone to make this boat new again or better than new I should say. :)

LAriverratt 02-20-2015 07:39 AM

598ci should sound nice coming through headers and dry pipes :flag:

caseyh 02-26-2015 07:59 AM

Look like the boat won't be ready for the run. Still waiting on some parts and it was out of any of our hands To get them. It may be finised by May but don't think I need to be riding around on a boat I don't have any seat time on and trying to make sure all goes well on the poker run. Kind of sucks but we will see how it plays out in the next 65 days.

Getting alinement right and drilling new motor mounts

ham_r_down01 02-27-2015 08:25 AM

I'll bet those engines are quiet. Lol. Doing a fantastic job. I like the feeling when all the planning and hard work comes together and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As long as it's not another choo choo. Lol

kreed 02-27-2015 09:34 AM

Please finish this boat. By the time its done I may be in the market for another Bullet. I would like one that has had the attention that your showing yours! If thats the 50/50 boat, Ive ridden on it a bunch of times, It had 540 bulldogs and TRS drives.Keep up the GREAT work!

caseyh 02-27-2015 03:57 PM

Don't think this boat will ever be sold. Have more into it then anyone would ever give me as most rebuild go. It's the old 50/50 boat motors will be 598s not sure on hp yet, huber 1450 trans and trs.

Nope! This boat has pissed me off and coming at it with all I can! Should sound nasty with headers and dry pipes.

caseyh 05-14-2015 10:17 PM

Lol 200 miles of water and most of it wide open. Nope not one boat broke. Lol

I am really kinda over it and will get it when ever it happens no need to rush it's been almost 3 years and more set backs then we ever dreamed of happing. No ones fault on the time line didn't see all the issues that were hidden

LAriverratt 05-15-2015 06:45 AM

I agree.. no need to rush it. You might see some different things before its all final anyway and want to add to what you have done already.

caseyh 06-09-2015 12:21 PM

We'll have owned the boat for 3 years and drove it once lol

frickstyle 06-09-2015 01:34 PM

Hang in there, haven't seen any updates in awhile. These things can be brutal. Look at all the priceless things you have learned along the way!

2manyprojcts 06-10-2015 05:54 PM

frickstyle 06-12-2015 07:22 AM

caseyh 06-15-2015 12:59 AM
