Glad everyone had a good time, too bad the weather changed for Sunday. It was blowing bad down here Sunday morning, and while I was still all but out from the food poisioning I couldn't help thinking that I'd hoped it wasn't blowing like that up on the St. Johns cause that would screw up the "radar runs".
Mother Nature just hasn't cooperated at all this year for boating. OPBA had 3/4 major activities cancelled because of weather. Our Christmas party is going to be "all out" to try to make up for the lousy summer. Any OPBA members should RSVP to Erturk asap. It's going to be a good one.
Am eagerly awaiting the announcement of the new class "wife training 101" taught by Professor Cuda. Will warn you now, mine will be the "Mt. Everst" of wives to train.

Perfectmix - Do you have a swim platform on your rig? I have been contemplating fabing a custom one...........we don't have the guards over the surface props and have been using a ladder into the pit to avoid the area. Thanks!

Dave--
I have an aluminum platform powder-coated to match. I had a wood platform before that. I don't have prop guards either. Just have to be careful back there. I wish I would have gotten a deeper platform. Mine is 20" and I wish I would have gone with 24". I bought mine used. I know Extreme Marine has a template for 357 Formulas. Their platforms are the bomb!! I had a quote of $1700.00. I wish I would have gone that route.
Love the Kaama color. That looks killer!! Did you remove the drives and tabs to do that? I was also wondering if you had to drill new holes in your transom for the exhaust? I know my exhaust has 3.5" tailpipes into switchable tips. It is original and I hate it. I want to go with full time silencers and not have to dick with this air system anymore. The bad thing is that the original tips are bolted(4 bolts each) into the transom and I'm afraid I will have to do glass work to replace them.
Thanks
