I swear, social media - You'll never find a more wretched cesspool of depravity and ignorance. People are just ghastly unintelligent. My son has a cool video that is spliced together of boat angles from the helicopter and from the boat. pretty cool |

Thanks! I gotta be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the paint before. I even mentioned as much earlier in this thread when I was searching for a #6 boat. But then I bought it sight unseen. Had Central Power & Rigging (who were responsible for the full restore) do the once over / compression test / oil analysis / etc. and had a surveyor check it out, but I never laid eyes on it before it showed up. When it did, I was blown away. My expectations were way over fulfilled. The paint on that boat is PERFECT. And shines like a new penny. And in person, on the water, it looks fantastic in my humble opinion. I think CPR and Vincent paint knocked it out of the park. I would have never chose that paint scheme but I'm very happy with it.
Then again, a good Gun with #6 drives is a rare gem in any case. |
Vincent is The Man. Had him do several touch ups and change a few things this winter on my 343 Cobalt.

Aaaaaaalmost done. Full service (all fluids - oil, trans, drives) impellers, new spark plugs, all new filters and new fuel lines as the old ones were showing wear. Installed a cool onboard charger via shore power and got the LED Wip anchor light installed (aka disco show on the bow). Droppin' er in the water Thursday morning. Ready for this weekend and ready to hit the road to LOTO for the Cig Rendezvous, speaking of which, spy the Cigarette Rendezvous banner hanging on the wall my daughter bought at the PBC Cig Rendezvous a couple years back lol

So, I’m just going to leave it indoors out there. If I want to run it this summer out here I’ll go grab it the weekend before. :D I’d like to just store it indoors here but they want $1500 a month for an indoor storage unit here. (Middle finger) uhhhh no. Lol

What is a LED whip anchor light? Is that like what the Jeep folks run on their bumpers?

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...3473a1d451.jpg it spent most of its life in LOTO. Ron built it new in 99 and it was in so cal for about 4 years. Then went to havasu to James Safa for a couple years. Then to Havasu and bounced around a few owners second to last owner was a Dr and dumped 350k into a restore / update via central power and rigging. Who I happen to be wearing today on our way out to havasu now for the poker run :D https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...0fde7190f.jpeg |

I have an extra covered slip in my dock (for a boat that doesn’t exist yet), you can store it there for free, I’ll run your boat on weekends I’m there you know just to make sure it’s running well each week for whenever you come. 😂
looking forward to seeing you out there!! |

love it. Looks like the MTI is trying to play catch up.
he was coming up behind us pretty fast. lol not a big surprise there. |
Any day on the water is a good day!

When we were out at Supercat, boat started having problems firing and then when fired, would run super rough under 1500 RPM. Over 1500, ran flawless. Also was running a bit rich at idle. So, sent it to the shop....Whelp, Carb rebuild time. :picard1: Prayers it's all done and ready to rock before we pull out headed for LOTO June 13th!!
