Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking for a couple of yrs and thought I would chime in. I had ported 260s' approx. 300 hp, when they ran they ran strong. Downgraded to 225 promaxes built by Diamond marine. They seem to pull as hard in the midrange, but probably top out at 100. Still playing with props, running 15x30 labbed spinellis' that I have only turned to 6200 due to engine height. Borrowed a set of 14.5 x30s', but haven't ran them yet. I have a cheap hand held Cobra GPS that works when it wants to and always seem to have 50 gal of fuel aboard. 94 mph is all I've seen so far turning 6200 rpms. I have been running in 2' lake chop which has been a blast to run in. I have realized that this hull doesn't like any positive trim. Hull seems to generate enough lift on it's own. Don't forsee ever being able to afford to feed big blocks but admire your rides.
I have a friend with a 32 Skater that ran 145 last weekend in 95* heat with flat water. It's a beast. I want a 32 with outboards or something around 30 feet.
Keep us posted on how your boats perform. I'm living vicariously through you guys. Bob

Met a good guy with a 36 Skater and BIG blower motors at the Lake Murray poker run in South Carolina where I live. He offered me a ride for the Emerald Coast Poker Run and boy what a ride it was. 140 mph was the fastest we ran and there was plenty left. Really enjoyed the run and now we a planning on Key West and maybe Bimini!
Good luck getting her in the water. Hope everything goes well and keep us posted! Bob

I can't believe you're selling after all the great work you did however I agree business expansion comes first .

I wish you well .

Great run. I toasted a rebuilt trans at Havasau during Desert Storm. I sent them both back to Huber's to have him repair the smoked trans and recheck the other. I ran maybe 20 minutes since Earl rebuilt them both. I'm sure he will corect the problem. Doug
