My beautiful boat is finally done, the guys @ RPM are awsome believe it or not there are 3 guys that build this boat, and one is the owner so far the boat has ran 118 with ease. Gary Taylor @ Taylor performance builds one hell of an engine, he just tweeked the ECM and is shipping it back will try it out next weekend should hit 121-123. :cool-smiley-011: This thing will run down so far anything 0 to 100 15 seconds:evilb:

That looks like the new IMCO SCX drive to me?

Awesome package. Can't go wrong with a TPI engine.

26 REDLINE 04-17-2008 08:37 PM

Thanks Pantera...I have a berth in the cabin but RPM built the floor flush on either side and I have two american soft sided coolers that fit in each custom enclosure. I'm telling you this is truly a custom boat, I have owned many of boat but I have never been involved in the process on every move, I was more involved in this boat; even though it's only 26' long than I have been in some of my homes:grinser010:

freshwaterfiend 04-17-2008 08:40 PM

Was the tinted windshield an option?

26 REDLINE 04-17-2008 08:40 PM

Hey Kelly,

It's great to hear from you... I am out of town @ the moment, we need to hook up during the Ticfaw 200 I'll take ya for a ride, you will be very happy, this past weekend I was at the prop-stop and took a couple for a ride, he told me that he has an 07 vet that doesn't take off like this boat!!:evilb:

jayhawk261 04-17-2008 08:53 PM

Absolutely gorgeous! I love those RPM boats! I'm a jealous man! How long from start to finish? More pics please!!!!!:D

26 REDLINE 04-17-2008 08:55 PM

Hey Freshwater,

The windshield was just like the boat, I had about 20 shades to pick from...even colors of windshields, believe it or not the only options that I added to the boat, were the engine I picked, the drive, I got a compass, hour meter, berth, the custom Batteries and trays my choice, and monster gauges. If you want one that is basic, you can get one for about 90,000 with a 496HO, but that would be a crime. This boat whould cost around 200,000, as you see my boat; you can have one for about 150,000 and the boat is not a cookie cutter...trust me it's built by 3 guys, if you have the time and love custom, order one I have been having this one built from Oct. 07...well worth the wait. I would rather it done right, and take time, than walk in a dealer and drive out with one:party-smiley-004:

Oh by the way he has two boats going to Norway, with the new 662 and NXT drives, I have watched one being built after mine BAD ASS:evilb:

Ass Per Your Request:cool-smiley-027: if you notice the main batt. switch that RPM machined 2 years ago, Eddie Marine and Dana, were up the original 525's boats ass @ the LA boat show...it's no wonder they have just come out with "a custom billet flush mount bezel":angry-smiley-038: If you don't have the brains to do it yourself don't be so ckin chit to steal it from someone that is smarter than you.:cool-smiley-026:

Sydwayz 04-17-2008 09:09 PM

Awesome looking boat! But for the love of Budda, and your motor, please get rid of that Fram filter. There are MANY better choices out there. I'd go for Napa/Wix Racing.

26 REDLINE 04-17-2008 09:12 PM

Way ahead of ya brother I have 4 new wix racing filters in my shop just waiting on 20hrs so they can ride on my boat!!:D

tblrklakemo 04-17-2008 09:14 PM

Sweet.....guy on my lake just got one last summer. I wanted to see it during delivery but could not time it right. I think he has a 600hp of some sort.

Looks like a mean boat. Any bets on when it chews through that MMworx drive? hell, maybe it wont.

Sweet boat. Congrats!

f311fr1 04-18-2008 04:58 PM

I have been in their shop and they really do things right. If any one wants a single engine cat this should be on your short list.

obsessed1 04-18-2008 06:56 PM

The boat looks amazing!

GT 04-18-2008 08:32 PM

pbam22 04-19-2008 12:45 AM

Boat looks sweet cant't wait to see it at the tic faw 200:D

jayhawk261 04-19-2008 01:04 AM

You need to haul her up to Grand Lake here in OK for a weekend. I'm dying to see it up close. Poker run maybe?

26 REDLINE 04-19-2008 09:20 AM

Hey Jayhawk,

Man I would love to come up...but man thats a haul:( your more that welcome to come kick it down in South Louisiana with us, at the prop stop heck the weekend of the 3rd in May we will be having the Ticfaw 200:evilb: its always great fun, there are some big boys come down for this one.

Man if your looking for a much better ride than your pantera, you would be amazed...I have never owned a cat that was this size just small STV's but this thing rides like a Cadilac, we got rid of a 22' deep V bowrider when I bought this one. One of the big OK from the wife was when she rode in the first boat RPM built, you don't feel anything if you run in a 1-3 foot chop or overtake other boats on the lake...the boat just skips right on over um. This is funny:D the first day out when I got her home I drove it past a few boats and thought to myself "this is phukin awsome" we got in the lake going to Ticfaw and there were 3' rollers I get about half way across and the wife cant find the bottel opener, I stop the boat to help her look for it and the water was breaking over the bow, never new it was that rough, it was like any other water. If I would have been in my other boat we would have had to turn around if not we would be black and blue when we got there. Just think you can go 100mph in 3-4' seas and not:hitfan:in you pants:cool-smiley-026:

jayhawk261 04-19-2008 09:52 AM

We may have to take you up on that 26. I fell in love with this boat the first time I saw it in the magazine. I called and talked to the guys about it and really wanted to build one. My wife needs a boat that takes the rough of Grand and LOTO well. Our boat does well n my opinion at Grand, but LOTO is a slow drive. She says she gets beat up both places. We had put a smaller cat out of the picture as we wanted something with a cabin to stay in. The bank wouldn't let us buy a new boat this year, so our current plan is to get a nice camper/fifth wheel to be our lake house. That being said, the small cat may be back in the picture for next year or the year after since we won't need a sleep worthy cabin.

I definitely want to check out how it does in the rough. I'll keep in touch and see if we can't hook up sometime. Thanks for the offer!

zitoracing 04-19-2008 10:12 AM

Man awesome boay cant wait to see it. Congrats

No Bling King 04-19-2008 11:56 AM
