Hey Verbie, how fast since latest upgrades? Did you mess around with drive height?

Pics look Great!

I,ve only been out once this year and the boat was loaded for bear since we were spending the weekend on it.

The water was smooth like glass and I ran the boat with the bimini up so speeds were down a bit.....

A week later I installed the headers......that was 2 weeks ago...and the boat hasn't left the garage since.

I havent played with the drive yet...I think I want a Vyper with the same graphics as mine now......damn!

And how have you been, any new mods?

Dont mean to hyjack.....

I love the paint on your boat too Verbi!

Yah SpecialK, the boat was well taken care of minus some small issues (think I got a starboard Boot leaking) and last month I spent over $800 in trailer repairs (Hub went south on me, took the spindle with it, so new axle with two new hubs, and then a leaf spring box popped off (rusty welds) and had to pay for a portable welder. The boat is in really great shape, the trailer on the other hand is another story. I got the boat on my buddies lift and next week I'm sanding, and welding the trailer back up and epoxy primer and then painting the whole trailer. I did get great deal on the boat though. Guess I know why now!

When i sold my 93 my boat was still like new but the trailer was pretty rough also. The launch ramp was only a couple miles from my house so the trailer was always put away wet. They did not use the highest quality trailers but i quess nothing lasts forever. If you still have the carpet in back and front of the fenders, make sure you get rid of it. It holds the water and makes it rot faster. Use diamond plate.

Nothing really changed except drive spacer. I want to try a five blade prop but that will be about it. I really would like the bigger boat also but it seems like I have less and less time to go out boating. I am always looking though for a deal that sparks my attention. It would be nice to cruise across the lake in 4 footers at 50 mph!

That bimini top looks cool!!!

verbi69 06-17-2010 07:49 AM

Thanks sk, the bimini works good and is a nice addition to the boat.
I will be talking to Brett at BBlades shortly about the 5 blade prop.
I am curious as well to how it would perform.
