You know all Skater trailers come stock w/ such. See pic in post 1!

Yes I'd love to have a wrap around windscreen but if I did that in addition to the drives I'm thinking I'd have more money in it than the fastest 32 listed in the classifieds!

Oops I missed it. :o

Thank you sir! Only no sooner do I catch up to you & you will be upgrading leaving me behind again.

Since you aren't claiming ownership of the 36 Pier 57 just sold I believe I know where you are headed!

If I don't get my boat back soon it will be b/c I kept pestering them for the pics! Right??

Thats such an awesome rig, Ive had a chubbie looking it for the last hour Nascat.

Youll definitely pick up speed with the indy and your headaches of drive maintenance are history with the indy.
I was looking at this drive at Teague and its a work of art.

Practically no parasitic loss like 14 HP I read somewhere
Its stouter than an NXT.

Are you going mechanical or digital shift? I would think that gen 3 imposes mechanical, but I could be wrong.

Oh its been out a while now and I havent heard of one breaking yet either. Only the first one having a minor assembly issue that was solved in a day or so.

Im incredibly impressed with my Ilmor product and even a single 710 is enough to give my buddys a vulgar display of power in a 28ft v.

- your rig is going to be supersonic chief-


I wanna ride!

Congrat's on the upgrade, I know you've been wanting it for a while.:drink:

Will it be ready for Destin?

NASCAT 07-22-2010 11:26 PM

UD- Thx for the kind words. I remember watching your ride come together & she sure turned out nice.

I'm thinking no to the electric shift b/c the Gen3 710 isn't set up to accomodate that but cables & a velvet smooth tranny will satisfy me just fine.


Bubba- Long time no see or speak, hope you are well. Destin is 3 weeks away & I'm really not sure when I'll have the boat back. I have to go to the race track the weekend before which will make picking it up & hetting some seat time prior difficult. And at the moment I have no crew, 2 of my main guys wives had babies like a week apart so I'm thinking they are both grounded.

Stay tuned............

I know of a willing crew member. I can give you his name and number if you would like.:drink::drink:
