He hasn’t had the boat out again yet.

Oh I get it...does he bring his life jacket like one of our former members? :p

All I’ve seen is paid bar tabs and fuel bills.
No life jackets so far.
I don’t think I bought a single drink all last week/weekend.

Tank, how's the vinyl paint holding up? When you applied it, did it go on with one pass or did it take a few passes? Any need to double coat it?

We’re at the river this weekend but like Kelly said I haven’t had the boat back in the water since April. Dash is out again getting all fixed (bad ground) and some finishing touches but I think the paint stuff is holding up. It lasted all weekend with us beating the crap out of it. We’ll see.

Cafe Racer speed?

[QUOTE=thisistank;4791384]should’ve flagged me down! Was able to meet a ton of people in person the 11 days we were there for both events.

and thanks for the compliment. It’s coming along. Almost done with this phase. But now I’m looking at new interior and pushing for Barrett to build me some NA 650’s. ;)[/QUOTE

it looked like from a previous quote you have 496HOs and you said they run 55-60MPH. What rpm do you run it at and what do think you’ll get from the 650s? Thanks

I’m seeing mid to upper 60’s with the 496’s. I still need to play with props and I haven’t been able to check rpm because there was a bad ground in the dash and I haven’t had tachs. Getting that fixed now though.

Thanks very much! That helps a lot.

Boat looks great’ glad to hear you and your family are building great memories with it. That’s what it’s all about. Hope to see it next year at the Rendezvous.

I think we’re for sure gonna bring the cafe or the center console out. That’s the plan at least.
