Sounds like you are making some nice upgrades (too):bunnydance:.........

Just crazy! Hoping my next ride is a #6 fountain, for now I will just drool at yours.

Upgrades, more like fixing the pig rich stock 575's :D Gonna see how much HP those XR's can take! I was going to do the AZM kits as you suggested in Key West, but I am going full roller as well so doing a custom map. Why I decided to tear apart working engines and dump near $10k into them is beyond me....I need a new winter hobby :faint2:

Thanks for the kind words, mid 90's on a summer day may be a stretch, I expect low 90's with the upgrades in the heat. The only time my boat has broke 90 in stock form was cool fall days.

Do you boat in the thousand islands region? If so look me up this coming summer and I will take you for a ride if I am up there. Better yet get Kelly to take you for a 120 mph ride in "Holy Cow" :D

Hands down Holy Cow is the best 35 ever built! A lot of time went into that boat to make it run like it does.

Kelly o boat ran 127 mph at the factory.

Your quite welcome! Yes, I have a small cottage on the South shore of Wolfe Island, between Clayton and Cape Vincent.

Do you ever come to the Alex Bay or 1000 Islands run? I would really, REALLY love a ride in either one of the boats! Let me know if your coming up this summer, My cottage isn't much, but, I have a boat launch, parking and dockage if you ever need it.

Hope water levels are up a little this year, was getting pretty shallow last year )-:

I will be up for both the June an August poker runs, Pirates week, and the 4th weekend. Possibly other weekends as well. We park on the town dock for the poker run weekends.

Shoot me a pm this summer and we can meet up.

Would it work if you converted a side by side 35 to a single #6 w/ big power? Just a thought.
