Gadgets is really good - so is acrticfriends.

GOOD LORD! IM JEALOUS. Freakin gorgeous colors!! The motor is unbelievable too. Well done!!

To the OP. If your Bravo is good. Sell it to someone with less power and save up for an ASD. Summers coming and those high top end numbers could give you some bragging rights. If im not correct isn't it possible to touch up into the three digit mph on his set up?
Im new to this sport but with high performance cars its the same way. If you go all motor high HP chances are your going to blow everything behind the flywheel. If you blow your drive 2 bad things will happen. You will not be able to sell your drive. Second you will feel like a jack a$$ when you have such a nice boat and will need a tow. You will probably save your self money and time in the long run. Im in the same boat as you, "Pun intended" but I think im going to wait and play is safe. A couple more paychecks and I will try to find a used ASD for my project.
Good luck. Show us some pics of the boat and motor!! 8)

Very nice compliment that you sir!

The guys at Laveycraft build a great boat, and Ilmor builds a sweet mill.

Correct- Avalon harbor.

My most common run is Marina Del rey to Avalon.

Ive run from Del rey to San Diego and back for long weekends as well this run is about 150 each way.

Back to the post I notice a big difference in ocean hours vs lake hours on my drive.
