Boat Sold at the beginning of Summer, it is on Lake Hartwell, SC.

Boat had a 454 Mag EFI (385HP), it would run 65mph loaded, and I have run 67-68(GPS) light load in the Spring, turning a 23 Mirage Plus, Labbed @ 5200 rpm and sun deck raised about 2 ".

I also had Gill Exhaust, ECM tweaked by Tyler Crockett, 160 thermostat with 2 1/8 holes drilled in it, timing advance to 12 degrees, Rapid Fire #1 plugs(they seemed to help with black transom).

It was 2 1/8" holes in the thermostat. Dustin Wipple suggested it, along with the timing advance. Seemed simple, so I did it.

My 260 has the windscreen, and I REALLY love the look. No sugar coating, when the weather is sour, the windshield would be a bonus, but I love the look of the windscreen. Then again, if you're prepared for foul weather, you can dress for the occasion (Gortex and Goggles ). "Sometimes it's better to look good than to feel good "
