Re: my dads being stubborn
 

2 hours

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

everybody make sure to vote! btw, how strong can you makethis drive by just changing internals? and were can i get the strongest internals? thankss

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

big heavy boat + bigger power + older bravo drives = broken older drives :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

IMCO makes a heavy-duty forward gear. Start there.

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

That's funny but true..... :D :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

11-25 because your Dad won't want to be proved wrong... Have you seen movie of 42 rev MissCigarette racing in Japan back in 90? Must see if you havent...

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

nope where can i see this movie of the race?

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

PM memeber Cordered - he put together a DVD with some boat vids..and a Thunderboat Row movie - its on there ..about a half hour of running footage on the rev during 1990 Sun Honda Offshore Challenge... they won.

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

If dad knows how to put his own blowers on and do his own engine work then he should know better leaving the drives stock. Tell him to upgrade the drives now to save the headache that will follow. :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Zero % chance this combination will work

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

no faith? :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Looks like he'll be buying new drives. There goes your allowance! :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

College Fund ! :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Chances are they won't last long, but Dad will try to prove you wrong and run it real easy. My fathers mado is if it ain't broke don't fix it, & his favorite "nobody listens to the old man"

Don't listen get yourself some new drives... :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Mr. Cigarette... :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

whats the cheapest price out there on new xr sportmasters? how much power can these handle? what warranty could we get? polished vs. satin lower? do you need the lower painted if you dont keep your boat in a lift but its fresh water (lake cumberland)? thanks

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

The Guy That Voted 50 Plus Hrs Must Work For Mercury.

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Or think it'll only be used on a lake with a speed limit - theres more and more lately:(

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Maybe the guy who voted 50 plus was his DAD... :eek: :D

You have two hopes............. Bob Hope, and no hope............... and Bob Hope died.

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

I didn't see where "first time attempting to get on a plane" was an option. :eek: :( :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Is there a pic of the Rev anywhere on here already? I always thought they were real unique looking boats. This was my favorite.

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

heres a pic after year long initial the resto for the 6 hours it ran :evilb: still have some misc. things to adress..but its almost there. the boats name is supposed to be 2hot4u, but my dad sent in just 2hot for registration :rolleyes:

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Did I post that ? :drink:

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Cuda I was thinking the same thing. Those are going to grenade the first time you jump on them. Have a towboat ready.

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

You forgot 0-1Hour on the poll :D :evilb:
That would be my vote :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Yeah, forget the American Express, don't leave home without you TowBoat Us card. :)

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

Nice looking boat. You should put the angled white stripe across the front like the 90 mph Cig paint job. :D

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

I'm with him!!! Tell Daddy to save his money and do it right.

Re: my dads being stubborn
 

that boat needs a Konrad conversion
