Here you go, I cannot say enough about Dave and the guys at XT did amazing work, nothing like the chumps around me who have really no idea what they are doing.

Right now boat is getting some touch ups done at Mitcher T, another amazing business to deal with, then boat heads to XT to get the cabin redone to match exterior interior........ Then I take boat down to Chief engines to get my new motors installed, sometime in February, going to do all my tuning and testing with Chief, do some boating in Florida, then just wait patiently for spring to arrive....

I will actually have a boat 100% put together this year.

What are the new engines? Looks like what you have is already pretty stout. Nice boat!

Well...... Boat ran great and I have put approx 40-50 hours on boat, with that being said....

Salt Water Salt Water Salt Water, after some exploring found major rust flakes building up all over engine. I actually knew better then to do this to those old blocks, this is not my first time in this situation, but I did it anyways.

Since summer is so short I decided to buy some brand new 540's from Chief to prevent a failure in the middle of the season next year. I am not looking for anymore speed,I am at 98-100 with 4 blades,
I am happy with those #'s, I just do not want to miss any boating time next season.

Now I find myself looking at other boats as this one is almost 100% done, I need to just stop LOL.

Gotcha, I figured you had the setup pretty well nailed. Awesome boat, interior looks similar to mine..... XT is great to work with, real guys with talent and deliver a nice product.
