Congrats, that makes two new boats in Chattanooga next year!!! Can't wait to get on the water!!

It's going to be tough waiting out the winter. Enjoy your new 35. I would think it would hit close to 90.

I guess folks thought it had a 454 or something. I would usually run to 70 or so with them and then drop the hammer. That boat pulled hard to 90 and still pulled decent after that. I usually did not have to push it past 85. It got kind of crazy much above 85.

It was time to move to twins though.

Cool deal, I have a buddy looking for something in that size range, so I thought I would check.. I have no doubt that boat surprised allot of people as it had to be one of the fastest 26zx's to ever hit the water while at the same time not very suspecting !!

Congratulations on the new ride..

Congrats! You are right on, one of the best rides in the size range. Love my beak.

The 35 is a perfect size for my needs. Still feels like driving a sports boat but has all the goodies I need. I just wish it was not winter now. That is all good though because I can set things up the way I like them and it will be ready to go on those first cool spring days!

Bill I am glad scott took care of you

they are great to work with when you are in need of trading as both of us were

sorry I missed taking a ride with you in it

I want to see that bad boy OL! I love those. I hang out in Chatt all the time. I am there now. I keep the 60 down here.

Eddie, will have some fun with this in due time. I will want that new ignition set up and have it dialed back for 89. This is gonna be a blast!
