Nice boat, both of them that came from shipyard, use to see both of them all the time in the Green Bay area. I like the new paint job as well.

Cool

I started my upgrades to 353. I added stereo. Used stock kenwood head unit running cabin speakers only now and added 2 Memphis 6x9s just below windshield behind bolsters and 2 Memphis 8 inch speakers under rear seat and 8 inch 100 watt amplified bazooka tube in port side storage. I powered 4 new speakers and factory kenwood 6x9s with JL 600 watt 6 channel amp mounted under rear seat. Sounds really good and did not loose very much storage. Also striped factory Eagle trailer stripping. More of clean look. Was thinking of putting chrome formula letters with eagle (like on side of boat) on trailer. This week I am touching up trailer and it is getting buffed and waxed. Boat is scheduled to get painted june 24th after that is done with buff and wax top deck to bring back to near new I hope! Was out for fathers day with 7 adults 2 kids lots of gear and boat ran great. Got onto plain good and still had 71 mph gps with that load. Good running hull for power and weight!

So last night I was changing exhaust tips and I have my magnet with me (incase I drop tools into bilge) and I stick to port side exhaust manifold and it holds (cast iron) I move to starboard engine and try to stick magnet to manifold and it falls off (alum manifold) Can you believe formula built boat with 1 engine with cast iron other cast alum! That's 100+ pounds difference. Well looks like there getting replaced with cmis now!

GGB exhaust inserts. Should sound better than quit stock corsa mufflers but not as load as open? Of course tips where to long and had to cut down. Nothing ever fits without mods!
