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. :)

Back to more glass :throw:

Don't let it get to you Casey. It's going to be nice when your finished and your going to enjoy it.

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.

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
|
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!
|
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.
The full build pics will be posted at the end |

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 |
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.
|
We'll have owned the boat for 3 years and drove it once lol
|
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!
|
Hey frickstyle I saw your boat at xt inovations awesome boat cant wait to see it on the lake.
|
They get that thing done yet? It is boating season and all....
|
I have owned it for 3 years this week.
|
