Cant leave it alone
 
Some guys can buy a boat and use it year after year and can be happy going the same speed every year.On the other hand some guys cant leave well enough alone.They have to upgrade their performance or speed every week.Who are you?

If they could build it right the first time I would not have to modify them :eek: :D

I have had the Hustler 3 summers with out doing anything major to it.. But Since I am freshing them up anyway might as well put some blowers on them.I like tinkering .I dont change boats or car verry often just keep modifying them till I got ton in them :( I even modifed my girlfriends hair dryer to blow more air. :D

You can always go bigger or get more HP. I guess it's how deep are your pockets? :D

I am pretty happy with our 33' Powerplay

Sure, if we KNEW that it was going to be an extra year, actually had a set delivery date, and didnt pay for things that never ended up ont he boat.

After owning my boat for three years, this year I did some small stuff that should give me a few more mph. Nothing major.

Dumped the "silent thunder box" for a clean transom look with new Stainless Marine tips, new more efficient and much LIGHTER exhaust system, and some other odd's and ends's. Saving about 400 or better lbs., and adding maybe 35/40 hp to each motor.

I enjoy cruising at 55/60 as much as hauling azz at 90 (in someone else's boat). Besides with all the work we're trying to do on our house, limited funds available for the boat without Deb hiring a hitman on me. At somepoint I'm going to repower and make a sleeper out of Outlaw.
