Hey why don't you paint the Trans ?? :popcorn:
Just fkn w ya. :flag:

Looking good man

Thx lol

You can`t paint it where it`s at? that's the lamest excuse ever!! lol You have a truck and trailer right ? The vertical pedal on the right makes the truck go forward.... I can send video if needed.

Stop being a ***** and paint the damn transom!! You got more excuses then my wife .:cool-smiley-011:

Oufff..... nice azz!!!

Lololol no, can’t paint without a compressor, and I don’t want to paint it... keeping this boatbas factory as I can when it comes to exterior, and I like the white... maybe later if I get annoyed but I clean regularly so it’s all good...

Its not a 1968 COPO camaro, its a old cig. The baddest old school cigs out there , are all custom boats . They are 10x better than when they left the Cigarette factory back then. Look better , run better, and get more compliments with personal touches that make them unique.

heck, why even bother changing the original gauges it had in it , they worked, why not keep it "original" . :)

LOL you guys are killin me... but leaving it for now... I like what I like..

Dan, red does look good.... maybe it's because you and Clifford have big wheels lol I need to upgrade!!

Some 6s in classifieds :riding:

I know a painter in NY... :bananalove:

Ouch!

I’m good lol

Damn that's one sexy beast!!

Paint This!
 

Man what a tough crowd!

Interesting that the boating world has little interest in original/as built condition when compared to cars and trucks.

Just don’t think it would look right red transom, now if the red flowed into the sides like dans then of course... just like white sides to white transom

It`s all white by me!

I would paint it while it's part. Easy clean. White can can be done. I like colors ? But it will be easier to clean with fresh paint. Just my opinion. Enjoy your cigarette.

Nonpainting transom at this point, no reason to...

Fuel up, run hard, wrench as needed, wash, wax, - repeat each weekend!

3rd time a charm!

yep, wanted this boat anyway, I think tim and speedmaster is a better idea....

oh so now the MIGHTY TRS isnt as good the EVEN MIGHTIER SPEEDMASTERRRR?!

Again.... you stir the pot, be gone... I left you alone for almost 2 years now... give it up loser. some of us don't have family $ and like what we worked for ourselves.... sick of you spoonfeds bagging on my boat because it's old and slow, I love my boat, I am not out to impress you or anyone else.... that's funny as you claim to be a business owner, makes it look bad you bash old slow boats and customers, you are as bad a Hollywood.

now be gone off my threads please, no reason for you to respond.

it makes some people feel better to bash others, people like him never learn... wish they would leave me be already....

There is a lot of things that you can fix in the world but stupid is not one of them

Darwin has a solution for stupidity...

Tried 17X26 4 blades, zero gain in cruise lost 2 up top, these 3 blades seem to work very well at this point..

season best as of now is 73@5000

Tim, don't you want to try and get those RPMs up? That thing should turn 5500RPM, no?

I agree I think you are missing the powerband of your 540's. 5000-5500. I spun my mistress to 5650. to run 78-79. The Top Gun spun 5700 RPMS as well.

Yep, I haven't seen anything over 5100 RPM in mine, and would like it to get up to about 6K when setup properly. My peak power isn't until 5750-5800.....

I just mainly been running what it came with, I need to play with the propping if I feel like it, cruise is nice, I may searxch for some to try end of season here to see what 53-5500 does, I wish I knew actual power of these engines and range.

What pitch are your 3 blades tim?

What diameter?

3 blades are 16.5X27. drives 1.58 ratio

Not sure any top end gain would be worth losing cruise speed at this point, I had a great season cruising 55-60 mph and just enjoying the boat, knowing the drives will hold up when it got ugly out is even a better feeling, torn on messing with what is working......

Yeah, I hear you on the cruise. Maybe try to acquire another "top end" set over the winter? If I recall, a 1" drop in diameter should yield +300-500 RPM? But 15.5" seems awfully small for your boat. Maybe try 24-25 pitch?

I think id prob leave it be. I doubt bigger diameter will help him with his drives being deep.
