I will definitely post accurate results as we go and document them with pics/video the best I can.

Hey Darren, Congrats on getting there. Im sure you are aware of this but be careful who you plop behind the wheel as a lot of insurance policies are named driver only. I have my girlfriend listed as she is very capable but I also use it as a way out of letting any of my idiot friends drive. Had a whole bunch who were bugging me before I took delivery. Was very easy to cut them out. Good luck with your testing and have fun. Steve.

Thanks Steve! I'm all set with coverage and do understand the named operator defined in the policy.

We do not have a final weight but it's under 5K just missing the back seat and props and it's built like a tank.

The New Footrests... 20" X 10" High on a 17 Degree angle. Super comfy and under 5 pounds each.

Can't wait to see how it runs. The interior is beautiful!!!!

Need to get a full shot once Mike has the back seat in..
Boat is awesome.

ktron 07-08-2016 10:11 AM

Thanks Guys for the nice comments. Been a long wait but should have some info any day.

addmtf 07-08-2016 11:30 PM

You should probably test that myco trailer out by driving to lake of the ozarks and test those outboards at the shootout. For testing purposes of course.

Grant ran the boat this morning with some borrowed props. Ran 121 right out of the box with the outboards 1" above the bottom. Mercury Racing is bringing props for us to test next week.

Maritime, Thanks, I wish I was down there but will be there next week when Mercury is there. I was at Grant's last Tuesday but we did not have any props to use.

man that's not right at all... teaser video!!! :lolhit:

looks fantastic! sounds like it's going to run that way too!

Double Rigged 07-12-2016 11:40 AM

boat sits really nice in the water with those motors.
Looks bad A$$ too!
Were those the Dave Dewald props or Mercury's?
What pitch, diameter, rake were they. Just curious.

Double Rigged 07-12-2016 11:42 AM

Also great call Darren raising hull sides. Boat looks much better

precisiondetails 07-12-2016 02:50 PM

Is it going to get rear seats?

precisiondetails 07-12-2016 02:51 PM

Seen pics of it on Instagram. Awesome awesome boat!!

Yes, the bottom of the seat is in, we are waiting for the back of it. Mike is putting it in this week.

ktron 07-12-2016 02:58 PM

34" 5 blade Dewald Props. I think 20 deg rake not sure on Diameter.

Nastybug 07-12-2016 05:04 PM

Congrats Darren, Boat looks totally awesome. Good numbers too. Im waiting on a set of 34 dewalds with 15.25 diameter and 20 degree rake. The standard ones I had originally were 15 Diameter if there is such a thing as standard. I say that because I had to ask for the additional Diameter when we built the second set. So happy for you. Have fun and have many hours of safe boating. Steve.
