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.

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.

Default 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.

few pics from last weekend in havasu and upper river. Stayed at our buddies that has a sweet house right on the water above havasu on the river. Headed to Barrett’s Friday, grabbed boat filled it up and dunked it. Ran up river (50ish miles) to the house with wife and kids. Saturday we ran down to pirates and hung out. Sunday we went half way down river and beaches up with H2oToie and his new 42x. Ran back to havasu Monday and pulled it out. Don’t know if any of you remember but I was looking for the battery switch cover door and ended up finding one and finally putting it on. Came out sick. Isotta went on too. Little things getting done. Boats nearly done done. Handful of small stuff and it’ll be done. Great trip. Kids got to run the boat as did my wife. Overall, great trip. Best boating in havasu is October.

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

great day on the lake. 80 degrees clouds kept sun from beating down. Zero wind.
