again no one says Innovation in Sarasota... AWSOME guys to work with... and reliable power that they stand behind!

The boat will be between So Cal and Clear Lake mostly...We do have a few trips planned to FL to visit friends. I feel like a little kid that wants to take his new toy everywhere:p

105, what are the specs on the 39? Sit down, full cabin or half, epoxy, what is the weight? I believe it is a quad step, is it similar to the 37?

I've seen some nice work from PRI (Performance Research Inc.) in Ohio. I have 2 friends running them, they hold up well.

Volvo??? Yanmar?






Really, just kidding.

After my recent balst across Lake Michigan in Ancestoral Spirit, I like the Cheif engines Parnel has in his boat. Ran flawlessly.

you know you can just go buy some bow tie blocks and have them built in your home town.. there's always a guy around that knows how to do that.. ????? if you don't need the name brand..

Three firends of mine are running Chief and they are perfect - and have been from day 1. One running 850's, one running 650's and one running 950's. Flawless work!!

Spectre with Yanmars = 98+ MPH. B-max'z I think?? awesome fuel economy, but it does sound a bit weird at the doks...

Although I have no experience with them, in all my years on this site, I've never heard one thing bad about Chief engines. Nothing but praise for their set-ups. I'll definitely consider them when I buy my next boat. They're also a sponsor here.

Sterling 875 engines, bam 1500 tranny, 6 drive with 5 blade props. and one of those little diesel generators.
