Looks awesome Tank! Nice day run!

The boys knocked it out. Took 4 hours of polishing and waxing but sure came out nice. Good boys. Hard workers. My son’s friend in black has never been on an offshore boat in his life. Or speed boat of any kind for that matter. Maybe a fishing charter boat once. He had a blast.

Think I found the perfect game plan. Take the kids for a run and have them detail it. Done!

Couple videos from end of summer.

pissing off our friends neighbors. Not really, they were joking.


and leaving a tie up out in front of our house.



drug it out to havasu last weekend to put away for winter. 😞

will get full service, check on a small oil leak from the port oil cooler, change out head unit, add a small Garmin unit in the dashboard where the current remote stereo unit is. And hopefully have time to put a ladder on the trailer at the bow and a storage box. Oh, and I’m going to swap drives and see how the boat does with the props turning out.

I am too. Seems I need to run it negative neutral to keep it level. Thinking spinning em out will stop that. We’ll see. Lose a couple Mph On top end but I don’t really care about that. Better manners around the dock will be good too!!

Tank, Boat looks and sounds AMAZING !!!! I really think you bought the cleanest, nicest flat bottom #6 Gun out there!..... I was going to say "at the time you were looking", but there really isn't many flat bottom, SSM#6 Guns that are as clean as RWTD, PERIOD !
Nice buy. You gotta be happy with your purchase.
