Congrats on the new boat. Looks nice

Thanks can't wait for the season pumped to get it togather.

Looking forward to it Mike, congrats once again! :cool:

Thanks scot all help is always appreciated

Awesome boat Mike. I bet you're glad you waited to pull the trigger now........

I am Adam. Hope to do Claudio's a couple times with you guys

awesome boat mike congrats on it

Thanks bri, should beck great all around boat from what I've read and heard.

Nice pick up Sick! Give us some stats like year, length, power, what you plan to change...oh and more pics would be cool too!

Congrats on the new ride Mike!! It looks sweet! Can't wait to see the power you put in it!

Thanks, it should do everything I want it to and we'll at that.
Going to be 454 blown nothing crazy in front of XRs

Congrats Mike great boat, best of luck with her !

Nice rig now put it together and please don't paint it!!!! :D

I'll give u some time. Lmk
Boston Market baby...!

Good with me I'll even buy. And it is staying as it sits pure white

Thinking about 525s just a good reliable package. I know every one love the blower whine surge ect. And hardly any one goes backwards in power but I believe it will add that much more to the boat as a whole.

I think that's a good call Mike, even with 525s you'll be flying right a long. Not worth the headaches

Nick those are my thoughts reliability and just some good stock merc power run mid 80 but constant and already ready not always wrenching

Reliability. That's why I bought my boat with "stock" HP500s. :whistle:

My thoughts Chris want to boat and enjoy it. Hopefully this summer alot of block island trips and River runs.

Looks like a nice boat Mike! Looking forward to running with you this summer.

Sell the scarab yet Tom I'm tring my best

River runs in an apache? Ha ha congrats on the new boat

J out of the bullet into a top gun nice jump

Yeah I was boat less for about a week. Hell of a time for the two of us to get new rides.

That's a good and nice boat. Congrats to your new ride!

Mike, Nice boat and congrats. Is that the one from up north by me NH/MA - owner of Bump and Grind auto body had her ? I think I saw a video of her too, running the upper Merrimack. A video that Gordon showed me. :cool-smiley-011: jjbgood

No this is the sister boat, both boats in the same town though

two 37 stepped Jammie tell me more thks

The f2 boat has been in the area since it was built. Roger from bump and grind now owns it. I did a bunch of work on it last summer with him. This boat was seized by west palm beach sheriffs, and then auctioned off after innovation did the motors but never finished putting it back together. Budget tie ups with the county. Gordon bought it and brought it to NH a couple years ago, actually Stinson brought it to ct and I brought it to nh. I pulled the hp 500's out and since the boat has aquired xr drives and 700's.

10/4 thks, so Stinson's I have been up close and personal --- that's the one in the video --- So what about Mike's it looks absolutely FAB thks, jjbgood

Stinson just did the transport. As far as I know he never owned one of these. Roger young owns bump and grind

You prob saw the videos I took

Had a call today, he wants to come up Friday afternoon.

thks, Jammie. so how many were built? any more pics of Mike's boat available? sure is Nice lookin! how much does she weight? what's the lay up etc. Tom wha'ts up? what do you think the transom angle is on that platform? jjbgood ;)

Congrats on the boat. Nice to see that it went to a good home. The only thing that would make my 36' better is a couple steps.. You will absolutely love the boat!! Congrats again..

Bay watch thanks for the compliment can't wait to run it have a ton of questions but I'm sure most can / will be answered by running it

Congratulations Mikey on the new boat!
Let me know if you need any parts off of Arties boat.

Thanks Gerry, I would have called but phone didn't make my last project out alive.
I talked to bob saccenti last night dude is pretty cool and very interesting. Answered all my questions and then some that were off top, that I was just wondering about. Excellent gentalman and very interesting. Once it's all together I'm hoping you are around for a trial run. I already talked to Scot he should be here also when we dip.
I'll swing by at some point when it slows down next few weeks/month are jammed with the house and cars and boats to finish up
