Hats off to another completed Project Boat on the Formula forum! Glad it all worked out for you, and it's good to see another Volvo Penta boat out there. I'll trade 2 mph on top end for better cruise efficiency, dockside control and reliability any day.
Now we need to organize a "Project Boat" rally for 2009.
By the way - The DP drive fits a Bravo cutout the last time I checked.

Saturday I was stuck working, but was out Sunday. Cruised up past henry and back, and then downtown for a bit. Will probably head out again this weekend as it may be the last time this year (at least on this boat). Your welcome to stop by and check it out anytime, just shoot me a pm.
