Rich.
We just need to put some mazola oil on that bottom. Hey, now that it is stored for the winter, why don't we just start sanding that bottom. They were doing some blue printing of the F4 buck last weekend, so I picked up some tips.

By the number others are posting up here Rich - you have to get that boat to salt water.

Has anyone actually weighed one and confirmed that. I've always read that weight, but when I stand next to the boat I can't help but think "this thing has to weigh closer to 9500 than 8500." It is a large boat with deep cockpit and cabin.

No doubt. I know the marina where Vyper340 racks up now just bought fork lifts with scales. Maybe he will chime in to let us know if he has gotten a good reading yet. I'm betting the 340, which PQ claims is 7500, weighs in closer to 8500....dry.

That would be my guess too. I guess I will remain curious until we find someone can verify the weight.

Hell guys I get 82mph out of 500efi's. Hit 83 one day but everything was right. 30 inch props lab finch with the bottom blue printed. Turning 5200 rpm's wish I could more bow lift as soon as I trim out past 2 on the trim indicators I blow the props out. I know the motors and drives are mounted to high from the old 415mags.
Also thinking about buying a set of 525's with ITS boxes.
