Name that boat.
 

Finally,!!:boat: my Avanti is scheduled to be shipped next weekend.
I need a good and fitting name for it. It's been a long frustrating road, but looks like it will end with a happy note.

Also.. let's have a pull. I wonder what will be the top speed.
The closest guess gets a case of brew from me. (just for the heII of it)
33'4".. deep "V" no step. twin 525's. ITS and Sport master shorties. 8000 LB dry.

This is how it looked some time ago.

Name = Second Chances

Speed = 81.6mph out of the box

OLD SCHOOL, MASTER BLASTER, MOVIN ON, SPEEDS 79GPS.TIME BANDIT, thinking old with new,

Born Again
Rebirth
Once Bitten
Twice Shy
Here I Go Again

83.3 mph out of the box.

83.1 mph.... call it FUNKY MONKEY!!

Can you use Paradox? I'm laughing at how close we all thought on speeds, 80.5.

:) Yup. speeds are close, names are good.
My first Avanti (the one that flipped back in Nov.) had 496's .. mags. std. Bravos. topped out at 72 in light chops.
Paradox would be fitting, But, I thought of "Second Chanse" also.
Keep them coming ..

Ironic
Ironic Paradox
Pairadox

2nd time around...79.5

Did you redo your old boat, or is that a new one? The paint looks identical. Good luck with it.

i will give it 84.3

Right side up....:party-smiley-004:

I'll give it 82 MPH

Slightly Cranky for the name.

I estimate 85.7 on speedo. I like any beer that is
cold btw, The boat looks great cant wait to see
the end result.
:evilb:

RSU :) I like that.

Thanks Brian.. It's a new hull. The pain is very similar. The old one got scrapped by Ins. Co. and it was on E-bay. "as is".. some time ago. I don't know who bought it.

"Never Say Never"

my guess is 82.4mph.

Looks to be a nice ride when she's all done, congrats!

"Sloppy Seconds" :D :D

Lazurus, Phoenix 84.5 Mph

Sweet Frustration....86 in salt, 85 in fresh.

Alternate name: Anticipation

speed 80.8

83.6, good luck looks great

Thanks. I been cranky for months. Totally Cranky ??
Cranked out ?? :)

"Naut On Your Life"

80.8

Assuming your first run out will be with
4 of your buddies, a sh!t load of beer and
a 100 gallons of fuel......

If it's not that then we're going to need some specifics... :D

Damn thing holds 250 gal of fuel. If I fill it up.. I'll be going backwards..

Is that a custom engine hatch actuator that retracts as a keel??:D

I'll say 79.7 out of the box, 82.3 dialed in.

I figured it held a ton (literally).....

I assume you'll still put a 100 gallons in?

Stick with my first figure.

Pair A Docks
Eat My Wake
Knotty Booty

87in salt water

Good names LM. I was thinking about "Pair o' Dice" for a while.

Cool name, might be a little to close to this famous boat for ya though!

When will your first run be?

Mike

Cranked

Well.. I can afford a law suit... so that's out.
Change of schedule. The builder, just got the last part in. (way late) so it will be shipped Wednesday next week. Won't be ready for Ft. Myers run. Rigging will take 3-4 days but I plan to do the first run in Tampa Bay, after the Ft. Myers run that I might just tag along with the Ole' Formula.

BTW.. just for the record. The top speed guess should be "closest" with out going over. But since I did not clearify... 12 pack for the closest "under" and 12 for the closest "over".

Need a case for my 1st post.
84.3 in salt.
83.2 in fresh
Becks please

so who won the beer? speed?

No one yet. Rigging is still worked on, had a few part glitches.
Should be testing this weekend. Keep tuned in.
