Best I saw with labbed props was 69

Nuwave has a trade in deal where u can trade in the tired 350 mpi for carb 357

That will put her at 72-74

All good my man, all good. To be honest, I was hoping you were right. :)

Had a great season with her. This boat has turned out to be far better than I had imagined when I committed to it. I honestly thought I was settling when I purchased it. The end result couldn't be further from my initial thoughts. She does some amazing stuff for her age and power.

There's a few little things eating at me about her cosmetics. Hoping to make some upgrades to her for the next owner to appreciate. Gonna see in the next couple months if my ideas work out or not.

For the record, I think I may still owe you a meal or possibly a few drinks. Next time we cross paths you have credit with me. ;)

Yes, I had dry SM risers out the cap, over the rub rail. The flared area of the hull, under the rub rail, was modified/removed at the factory to allow the top of the TRS transom assy to mount even with the bottom of the rail.

I'll try to find and scan an old picture.

Not yet. I'm leaning towards the other side of her right now.

You should do something cool to the front of the boat. I want to see something nice when I turn around and look behind me when I'm WOT!! Post some pics already before you yank the engines. I might swing by Wed evening if your working on it.
