Correction, one confirmed casualty. Gallon of Arnold Palmer in my cuddy and half of a monster on my cockpit carpet which is red. Would that particular color of carpet be cold, cool, warm, hot or very hot on your barefoot scale tom? Lmao

It's okay Kidd can't wait to see your boat @ the fun run if you come out! Always a good time!

Good to know, thanks Tom!

We spent two nights on it and I can't get over the comfort that the boat offers up.


I knew it would live upto your expectations...

The ride totally blew me away in handling and comfort.

I just need to find that sweet spot and find out what kind of legs this thing has on top.

Need4SpeedGTCS- for some reason I thought you had 575SCi's?

That is correct...completely overhauled water pumps to gimbals and whipple intercoolers added during assembly. ECMs reprogrammed too.

Now I just have escape from work and use it!!!

But further to Verbi...what a fantastic boat for all around performance, ride, comfort & quality. I do love the Cigs and Apaches but they are still just a day boat really. OL, NT outta my price range for now.

I'll be down the 23/24/and early 25th... then Torch thru the 4th of July, unless I swing by higgins for a day or two to terrorize south shore with kid288. Already have a pretty decent crew recruited for the LSCR tho- so be on the look out for some hood ornaments :drink:

We giggled all day Saturday And Sunday.
Just getting used to the boat we turned up the dial and ran a 78 on flat water.....hopefully in looser water we will see the 80 mph mark.

AJ you should move closer to LSC the PQ/Apache needs this plenty of marinas around to store the boat at, and no more long rides home after a day on the lake.
