Jo,

You guys never fail to impress! What a beauty! The new owners should be proud. Great job guys!

Sorry Mike, It was not intentional! I dropped the boat off on a Sunday and went to work on that Monday. I was there but not really there I was stuck on a Navy boat for work the whole time. It sucked I was working 18 hour days , and the only time I did have I was sleeping. When I was there I only stopped by Pantera one day to see what was up and make a couple decisions and then I had to go right back to work. I got your voicemails but not till I got back on shore. I was about 20 to 25 miles out and the cell service didn't happen out there. Sorry again dude. I plan on coming back down in a few months for vacation this time and we WILL go out and enjoy I PROMISE.

Thanks everyone again for all the compliments I do really appreciate them. Boat is running pretty good still trying to mess around with different props. I tried a 5 blade hydromotive 30 cut back to a 29, and although it was a little too much prop the boat handled awesome with it on there. Didn't have to drag any tab to keep the boat running level and it just felt awesome. I think a 27 5 blade will be the ticket. I only tried 29 cause that's all my friend had to try so if anyone has something smaller for me to try that would be awesome. I still would like to try a 28 stock prop just to see the difference. I would also like to try a 26 to see how the boat accelerates with that on there. It pulls so hard now with the labbed 28 that I can't imagine how it would be with a 26!

I believe JO has some pics of the cabin, but incase he doesn't I will take some when I get home tonight!!! It turned out very nice.

Mike

Boat looks great Mike, glad to see you got her all together, you will like the 5 blade in the rough stuff. Call Todd at Hydromotive and he can send you out something to try. I think you have 100-150 more hp than me so I would guess a 26 or 27 5blade. Be nice to that bravo drive.

Mike, glad your enjoying the boat.
What kind of speed are you seeing and rpm with the labbed 28?
I'm still trying to sort mine out

ok

Not the best cabin pictures but it is all I got.The cabin had the light panels and bulkheads done in "carbon vinyl". It was done simple and clean.

I just pulled the boat out for the winter and took a quick pic with my camera phone with my 76 kz in front of it. I have some real nice pics (lots of chicks) from this summer that I will post soon. I was hoping that the season was going to be a little longer, but it just got really cold here and well I guess it's time... Any good ideas on things I should do before putting it away for the winter? Like helpful tips before covering it up so when I get it back out next year everything will be the same. Seats, Engine, Cabin, Etc....

Mike

Mike, love the KZ. I use to have a 80 model

Stable (sp) in the fuel and fog down the mtr.
If it's going to be covered up tight put an open bag of charcoal in the cabin.

Good looking KZ and boat Mike. I need to take that bike of yours around the block 1 of these days.
