Great Job.

Very nice!!!

Thanks guys, I hope the weather clears up for the weekend. I want to run a little more before heading to LOTO for the Rendezvous!

Looks great Jim!

Fantastic Jim! Sorry we won’t be able to see it in person as we can’t make the rendezvous but will be out in loto july 16-23 with Kelly on the tiger if you want to come run!! 😁

I hadn't posted an update in awhile, so here it goes. It was nice to be able to enjoy the boat some this summer here on KY lake and I was able to venture out to LOTO for the Rendezvous. I only put about 20 hours on it this year, mainly lining things out and tweaking things here and there. I've went from the -2 lowers back to standard length at the end of the season and still need some testing. With the -2 lowers I had to run the drives tucked in, much trim at all and it would start porpoising. Other than that I have a trim ram that's leaking around the seal that I need to address this winter and a good buff and wax and it will be ready for 2026. Not sure if anyone else had issues with the plastic T-handle for the water intake valves breaking, but I found some nice CNC handles that adds a nice touch to the bilge.

Where do you get the cable operated valves to begin with.... I have to be a contortionist to reach mine... I never knew they even made such a thing...

Boat looks great glad to hear you have been using it.

I'm not sure where to source the T-handle cable end, might try Lip-Ship or maybe someone on here can chime in. I've seen several 90/00's era TG's with these. Their 33C cables connected to an Apollo ball valve that has a mounting pad. Cigarette must have made the cable mounting bracket to the valve and cut down the ball valves handle (when I replaced my valves I done the same thing, but powder coated them after) the rest is 33C mounting hardware and connectors. Last few pictures is before I replaced and powder coated.

Lookin good buddy. I hope to make Kattawa so maybe I`ll see ya.
Jealous of those 3.8`s . Very cool
