Looks great wet! I'm surprised how well she sits in the water, that new bottom dosen't "drag ass" anymore.
See ya at the PokerRuns event at North point?

I noticed the back also. Certainly the staggered motors have to help level her out some.

Dave, she looks sweet in the water, both the boat and first mate

Our shakedown run had the drive reservoir's run low and the alarms went off, dumped some fluids in and off and running. I'm guessing maybe I had some air in the system ???

Have a great summer.

Few comments:

-Colors look great especially when in the water.

-I notice the azz of the boat is sitting higher than I thought.. which is very good. It's high enough so you probably don't get the vibration some of the 29's and 32's supposedly had due to the exhaust having to "blurble out". It's not an azz dragger like some...wonder why? Maybe the staggered engines?

-I am mad at Shogren and Fountain for not going out with you and putting the boat through it's paces to a greater extent. You should not have those things happen. What were they thinking when they mounted the cooler? Let us know if it's taken care of quickly and properly. No excuse for that even though it was "minor" it's not MINOR!!

How does it compare to the ride of your former 35'er??

See ya Dave!

SHOGREN DID TAKE ME OUT. It was drizzling and I said no, but Scott insisted. I am the one who ran the boat hard after I picked up from Shogren.

Cooler is WTF- very thin can see how it broke out. 2 cases of beer with ice gets heavy. That needs attension.

Boat is much heavier than 35. 35 ran nice, 42 is bigger, faster.
It is just nice to have everything NEW and latest tech stuff.
Freakin motors really howl- staggered gives more level squat when sitting at dock.

I am happy camper and will let you know when I'm not.
