No updates yet Don? Your shoulder cant hurt that much....

No sorry, its killing me...
The block, crank, pistons rods, etc are still at the machine shop... the boat show season for me starts March 1st.. I am bumming........ Looks like I will be taking the engine to the boat shows and assembling it there.. Actually that would be kind of cool.... I just pray it is all done before April (complete running in the boat) after that my spare time goes away. And I will not sleep well if I have to let someone else do it. My guys could but I want to do it.... I have always done my own stuff. It keeps me in touch with my roots. I used to work for GM.. long ago, 2 business's a wife and son ago, lol .
Pray to the machine shop gods for an update... I don't wan to rush perfection so I don't bother them. whenever its ready it will be awesome.. like I say "the longer they wait the more they want it" or it that the longer it is, I get that mixed up. lol

Not to bum anyone out, but I have been looking at cats.... I am in no hurry but I will have a cat. I have time and the deal will come. I want something without power. I called Eliminator and was looking at some new 2010's came really close to getting one.. Really close. I like the 27ICC, but was thinking a 28 would be smoother and faster.... nothing like twins.. I was thinking I am rebuilding the 510 anyway so I could put that back in the Krypto and keep the -3 imco for it. I would swap the 572 and SCX to the cat... that way I could sell the Krypto.. I decided to see how the Krypto goes first. I am sure it will be fine but nothing goes like a cat.

DON HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER FROM YOUR SURGERY JASON SARRIS AND HIS CREW IS FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY REMEMBER YOU CANT RUSH PERFECTION, ONCE YOU GET IT BACK I BET YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A ISSUE WITH IT .GOOD LUCK AND GET BETTER

I dont doubt that or my stuff wouldnt be with him. Nothing but the best...

Keep the krypto ...........................and get the cat.




Problem solved.

Ask my dad about eliminators...oh and btw were a skater and spectre dealer when you want a cat . Out of all the single engine cats, the 25 Talon and 28 profile run the best...

I am also considering a 2001, 280 profile, no engine and drive. How does the 25 Talon run? I am wondering if it is small for our lake? How would you compare rough water ride between the Kryptonite, 25 Talon and 28 Profile? I did talk to your dad about the profile..

Krytponite will run the best in rough water hands down, the only cat that will run with a Krypto are ones with no center pod and twins (SKater,MTI,Spectre,Motion etc). The 25 Talons run very well for their size, but again not as well as the Krypto. The 28 Profile is the best out of the ones mention, but build qualtiy on some are a little bit shaky, Ken's seems pretty stout, and is incredible stable at 125..but 45-110 is the cool part You need to spend a day with me up here riding around in a few Skaters znd Spectres, THEN youll want a cat. A 30 foot Skater or Spectre with hot small blocks would be the ideal boat for what your describing

I have time in a 27icc eliminator, that runs low 90's with an ilmore. It handles so much better than my Krypto I have had it out in 3's and it stayed flat and on top. I dont know how it would do in anything more, but 3's and less it was rock solid solid, and flat. I like the way the krypto handles the rough stuff I have had it out in far worse and it flys flat but pounds like you would expect. I did not get any pounding at all with the Eliminator. Maybe I need to try it in much rougher water to see the krypto handles better than the cat.
I hear you on a twin.. would be awsome...
