Very Very Nice

Ben, you didnt tell me how nice of a shop you have there!! Boat looks great! Talk to you soon,

Dan

the 42 is a great boat..congrats.

Thanks guys, still a bunch of work to do before summer. The shop is our farm shop, got several projects going on.

Good talking to you the other day. I saw that boat at LCM and have to say pictures do not do it justice. You got a hell of a deal on a boat that will be rockin with some TLC and a little bit of $$ to freshen some things up. If I go to the Shootout this year I will have to get in touch with you.

Good talking with you to, feel free to give me a call if you decide to come down. We stay at Lands End condos. Let me know if you need a place to stay.

Great looking boat :coolcowboy:

Very nice, congrats

The boat looks great! Congrats.

JD, getting ready to head south, wanna getch a ride. Let me know if you need anything.

Nice ride! Saw it was off the repo list. So were the engines ok, or rebuilding to be sure?

Engines already pulled

Nice ride! Glad she went to a good home.

nice boat! congrats!

Thanks everybody for the great input.

did the tails ever pop up?

yes, everything was with the boat, just not put together. made it easier to pull motors.

i was on that boat with 1075s in it. Was fast!!

How did it handle? Looking for props right now, getting the motors freshened up, trying to getting all the other stuff fixed and put back together before we get real busy here. Definately is looking better and coming along nicely.

Ben if all goes well I am going to try to stop by this Thursday and check out the new ride. Boat looks GREAT!!

Went and saw the boat today and OMG it looks GREAT in person. Ben congrates again. Cant wait to get a fun ride this summer.

Rich, sorry I missed you today, had a Monsanto meeting, hope all is going well on your end. The summer ride will happen eventually......

awsome ride, you are going to love that in the rough LOTO water

I ran it at lake cumberland. Had the factory 1075s. Ran 125ish. Not sure what props were on it. Accelerates like a motherf*cker!!

We hope it runs close to that, everything is coming along smoothly....

Some more
 

took some before the snow....

Great looking boat Ben, Im sure you will have it in tip top shape in no time.

ps did you sell the 388 yet?

Yeah, we sold it last summer, went to a guy up in no Wisc. He seems to love it, i know we did.

more pics from today

Looks good Ben. I am going to pick mine up next week. I had the trailer all repainted over the winter so it should be looking pretty good. Have you put the boat in the water yet.

Did water testing this morning, boat checked out great and ran good. Boat ran 120 at 5400 rpm with 4 people and 130 gal of fuel. Still got some left so we shall see. Interior should be completely done in a couple of weeks. Summer is coming soon. Everything is finally coming together, THANKS to all that has helped with the redo.

Ben

How did the boat feel with the 18x34 Herings that you bought.

Boat felt really good with those props, seem to handle just fine. Had a touch of neg trim above level at speed. Give me a call if you got any questions.

Ben

Glad to hear the boat ran great Ben!!

Nice boat Ben! glad everything is coming together!!!

One more pic of the finished interior. Ready to go boating.

Great looking boat!! Love the paint!
