You don't have enough power to turn ONE with BOTH of your motors. You need to step up the power!

They really look nice mounted and Matt was able to get things cleaned up nicely in the bilge....

WOW Those look good

Some how your trans had water in them though so... That and yours were BAM 900's not the 1350's that Jim has.

looks great rik did you well can't wait to see some ## on speed, oh there are some funky soft sided ladders being sold at the boat shows that will fit any boat they say from a pointy bow to the sides if I find the paper work I will post it. but like it was said you can get cut by any prop. one other thing using the merc prop bags is a good idea as long as you remember there there

. nice job on the paint too. job well done rik.
