Default class 5 Bound

Lefty555 Funny that you mentioned that.. Some of the old excalibur's came with twin outbaords.. But i'll take a big block over 'em.. Hopefully the inboards can change the tables a little bit!!!! What kinda drive's do you guys run Bravo-1 or xr's or any types allowed. Just trying to get an idea on how to set this thing up... Wazzup I'll give ya a call this weekend thanks for any and all help!!!
