Is that one a pleasure boat? I heard 105. I think they are claiming 95 for the Ilmor boat.

I think it is the company owners causing the issue with production.......even more so now with Saccenti no longer involved.

Precision Power Offshore has worked on blueprinting the bottom. It's not perfect yet but more work will take place this off season. In addition Ben's been adding to the areation.

Cool. Props still spinning out? Where are you at with prop size? Awesome boat. Always loved that boat, glad you guys are getting it dialed in....I sold my TG to a nice guy in your area, OLD SCHOOL is the name of the boat. Not sure if your friends or not, but he was putting bigger power in the boat.

The props are turning in. The hull is much happier that way.the 99 was with a set of borrowed 34's. Until we get the hull perfect, I'm not going to buy any props.
