Beautiful wood, superb craftsmanship, well laid out dash. Only to be dragged down by a chronic problem with Livorsi Gauges. Faded needles......

Very cool how they coat the bottoms with what looks like gel coat from the pictures.

And "Victoria Z" proves they aren't afraid to pour the coal to it.

Thanks. Brad.

The 29, Jacqueline, has one of our 575efi's in it and runs an honest GPS confirmed 85mph. It surprises a LOT of stock performance boats on this lake

Those direct drive setups are incredibly efficient on how they deliver power to the prop and propel said boat.

8000 hours X $125/hr = $1MM per boat.
I'm just pulling $125 out of thin air but have to start somewhere.
