As far as a long haul. I have to come from San Diego to get to you this year. Add a Deisel pusher that hates hills forcing me to go through texas ( add 4 hours or so) Add My wife is Preggo forcing me to go it alone... Add nobody in Cali likes boats enough to go with me. It will be tough . But i am comming

I take it you're coming I-10 then I-20 to DFW area. West to East through the Lone Star state is a long haul. 12hrs...

Driving through Tx will be the best part of the drive.

I gotta think that from Las Cruces to Pecos is gonna be kinda hairy

135 would be nice!!!

Any updates? Whens the water testing begin

He has been too busy riding in my grocery getter to think about his. Lol

575's are good motors. I won't be meeting you at the shootout this year because my wife will probably be in Labor On labor day !!!

Yea, we took mine out this past weekend for the first time over the winter, they are running awesome...

That sucks for the shootout, but congrats on the little one. You could always fly in and jump on one of our boats for the weekend.

TRL....how much longer until you kick my boat off your lift? lol

The "goal" is to have drives in R3's hands by the end of this month. However, the "goal" has always been to do certian things...and those have never quite came to fruition. See list below for a Clifs Notes version of failed "goals"

1. To have a boat that does not blow up 5 times in 3 years
2. To have a boat that I can enjoy for longer than 2 months.
3. To have a boat that does not spew oil like a BP oil Rig.
4. To have a boat that does not puke coolant (pre open cooling days) like me after a 15hr vodka bender.
5. To have a boat where the headers do not resemble a Lucky Charms Cereal Box.
6. To have a boat that does not snap XR drives like kindling.
7. To have a boat that does not catch on fire
8. To have a boat that does not throw prop blades like a ninja.
9. To have a boat that has engines in it longer than it has engines out of it.
10. To have a boat that makes me double my blood pressure meds everytime I hear someone ask..."So, whats the latest with your boat."

FYI...all above instances were Pre RF/YPM. However, Im sure I will be adding to the list by the end of the summer...its just how it goes for me.

#7 is a major bonus IMO lol
