525SC?

I've definitely driven your boat when we had it at the factory.

We built a boat like that with boxes and 525's.

It ran very nice with the boxes.

Did the boat have lettering all over it when you got it?

MK,

How well did the 38' with the 525's run with the boxes? I have been thinking of adding some boxes to my 05'. It is the custom Poker run edition that was built for Riverview. I have been told that the hull that it got was different from the other 38's - is that true? I have taken a straight edge to it and it has either been worked or it is darn straight from the factory in the last four feet.

I've ridden in this boat and though it runs good, it seems like it should run better given the HP and the fact it has boxes on it. Nose lays flat in the water even when fully trimmed and tabs all the way up. Needs bow lift BAAAAAD. Hopefully those 5-blades will get the bow up and un-glue this bad boy of Rich's.

Yes it has 525sc in it. Yes it had some extra decals on it (gaffrig guages on the sides below the side clets) I believe it had some others on it at some time from what it looked like, fade before I buffed them out. Anything I should know about this boat? Thanks

Rich.

Did you ever have the bottom straightened and the strakes cut back?
