I changed the lower units last weekend to turn out instead of in, & lost 4 mph but the boat does handle so much better. I can even turn it around in my canal much easier. I am taking the center lower unit off to take to Bob's machine shop to have the fitting installed to direct water into the w/p housing from the transom pickup. more pictures coming soon.

I took the center lower unit to Bob's Machine shop to have the fitting installed in the lower unit to run the hose off of the transom pickup. They are a first class operation there, I waited to have it installed & they were very accomidating there. I have the lower unit back on the boat now & hope to sea trial this week. I am getting the boat ready for the Sebring get togethor on Lake Jacksom on Nov 5th. I will have more running pictures this week.

I painted the stripes on that boat when I worked for Trick Paint, we painted all the Midnights. Looks like it's holding up pretty well, was probably around 84-85ish IIRC
