Sounds like the first few outings have been a sucess. Glad all is working out in your favor so far.

Your comments about Brett @ Performance Boat Brokerage sound spot on. I have not purchased from him but a couple years back I did go back and forth with him on a boat he had for sale. I was impressed with his way of doing business.

So far :lolhit:


And , Brett really stays on top of things . Being honest really allows a person to do that.

It took a day to take it off and paint the pieces and a day to reinstall it. I have been a bodyman and painter for 30 years. I would charge a grand to do it. 500 if you could bring me the parts

As much as I love San Deigo, you are 3000 miles from me :lolhit:

I was hoping for some DIY advice

Here is the boats's potential if anyone cares :lolhit:

Right now 94.8 @ 5300 climbing and running out of lake. I eased it up to speed and it took a longer than it use to take...

60 mph 3500
50 mph 3000.

This is bone stock props. If i go up 2 pitches and have labbing done I would loose aprox 100-200 rpms ??? Puting me @ 99 MPH ?? Gonna take some time before I do that ..:lolhit: Right now just happy w the set up I have, and in the future I still have a 95 mph set up that I can fall back on.
I could have never done it w o OSO!! Thanks :D
