Bobby!

That sounds like a plan!!! Next time your'e out here Chief we'll take it out and see what happens!!! :D :D :D

Jason- was that your boat? I've only seen you at the SCOPE events! I haven't heard what it sounds like away from the boat, but when you're on the boat at idle.....it friggin rumbles!!!! :D :D



Four new pieces to the puzzle came in today!
:D :D

That is my boat. It only has 500EFI's but they do sound bigger for some reason. It tops out right now at about 81 but I can not seem to get it propped correctly, still have about 350 rpm left before the rev limiters.
Sorry you had to make such a haisty retreat due to the harbor patrol. By the way, you must have shot gunned a few bears in college by the way you made your beer dissapear before you ran off to save your boat from being towed:drool: .

Nort, that is some boat you got there!! Best of luck.. cya...........LUCY

Re: Re: Congradulations
 

Oh Boy !!!;) ;) :D

LOL. :cool:

We had to trade the old bandwagon for a new factory!

Nort,
Let us now how fast that beast goes if you beat on those three big blocks a little.

GL

that is one sweet pimp ride Norty!! all the chicks are going to love it:D :D

Took her out on Sunday to Catalina Island for lunch and had a handheld GPS with me. THe MAX speed recorded was 56mph. I was surprised. Didn't really try trimming the drives or anything, plus the center engine needs the top end done (low compression on most cylinders, and one dead one). Didn't matter......we had a great day! :D :D :D

you lucky sob :D :D
now slap some #6's and 800hp motors
and watch out :D

With one engine as marginal has that you'll hit in the low 60's when your done fixing the gremlins. Very respectable for a #20k boat.
I better not tell my wife that, she's still looking at pictures of Superhawks!

Nort, how $ was the paint job for the above water part of the hull it looks great.

For just the new blue.....about $5K

thanks Nort

Lil' Chaos showed up via UPS today.......just had to put her together......no matter where! :D :D Just need some water! :D :D

Very cute Norty. More important question... You can play the Piano... and a Sax? :D ;)

i want to be like Nort when i grow up.
dayum Nort , just what do you do to make so much money? Do you own the company?

I hate to be the one to say it but that coffee table really doesn't go with the rest of the furnature even though it is white :D Plus you have it upside down.

Norty we're waiting...

Yep.......I play the sax, but the piano plays its self. :p :p I could never figure out how somebody can read multiple lines of music at the same time!!

lotoparty and Von Bongo........ :D :D :D :D

Impressive. So you're an accomplished man with a dingy in the living room.

It was good seeing you at lunch. The Seeker looks good!

Re: Winter Project Boat: I bought an Apache
 

Update.....................three engines being rebuilt by Dan at Archer Marine. One had water in it on Mother's Day (oh my gosh........you spend so much money!!! yea mom.....that's why you raised me so well!!! :D ) so I figured all were a bit tired (1994 motors).

New update for my "winter project boat".........7-years later!!! :) Where has the time gone!!

The three rebuilt engines in 2005 had issues over the years. They were never quite right. Last year (2010) we took all three motors out AGAIN to completely go through them......with some oversight this time. Drives were taken off and gone through too. New bottom and drive paint. New stainless steel anchor. Doing some minor re-rigging in the engine area shortly before we install the new engines. I think I'm gonna update the dash panels, new radar/gps system and then.......probably sell. We'd like to move on to another performance cruiser in the 50-60' range and that just isn't going to happen if we still have this boat. :(

More pics in a few weeks.

There is light at the end of the tunnel.....but it might be coming from a hole in the bottom of my bank account. LOL!!!! :eek::drink:

Cha Ching!!!!!!!

Just keep it and run her....often!!!!!

We may have no choice.......but we'll give selling it a try! :) Ready by Memorial......gonna be VERY tight. :drink: Progress shots from yesterday. Lots of little details coming together.....like I had some new stainless plates made to replace the old plastic ones.

Looking good Nort!!! Why dont you swing her up my way and we'll take her for a spin lol..

Coming together...That new (or re-done) teak looks awesome!

Thanks Tanks.....it's all new and will last longer than me now. It still has to be sanded. New engines are in, getting rigged. New Gibson bullet tips for all six noise makers. Final (for now) gel and paint are being done. New engine insulation and noise foam. Then comes the dash and new in-n-out electronics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaker Gill is crooked. :D

Looks great man....Can't wait to see the finished product...Going to be a new boat at a fraction of the cost!!

It's been too long since I"ve been drunk on that boat....Get that thing in the water!!

LOL!!! That's their logo! Three of these.
