Nice!!!! I like it without the bow rails. I also noticed it doesn't have the anchor locker. I don't put my anchor in mine anyway. Also what is that fitting to the right of the flush cleat?

Gary, they do not put the anchor locker in anymore. I am glad about that, seems I was one of the few that everyone expected to use my anchor due to the fact it was easily accessible.

The fitting is to the pump-out head. Never have used it in 5 years.

PQ also quit putting non-skid along the sides of the deck, That will make waxing a lot easier.

Jan,
When do you go to pick it up? You better hurry it's gonna start snowing soon:) The boat does look great! I also noticed you seem to have different tips. Did you swap out the Corsa tips? Did you notice a difference, if you did?

Gary, not sure when boat will be completed.

Yes the tips are different, I have gill exhaust with Corsa Captains Call. Also have a B&M flame arrestor and the Computer remaped by Tyler Crockett. 50 degrees and 1/2 tank with engine hatch cracked I have hit 67 mph on gps. (454 mag/efi)

That's interesting you say you cracked the engine hatch. I was thinking of adding some kind of naca duct on the sides to go to my carb. I think the engine compartment does need more air. I hit 62.7 GPS with a stock 454 mag carb motor. With a K&N 9x5 inch air cleaner and a 21 Mirage Plus repitched to a 22. I'm gonna put a new exhaust on in the spring.

Gary, I was turning a 23 mirage plus at 5200 when I hit 67.

Jan,
I believe you about your speed.In fact I'm impressed with it. I was just telling you what I get. You also have the EFI mag which is good for 35 more HP. I was turning 5050. What did you do to override the rev limiter? I thought it was 5050? Although I did hit 5100 a few times but I was a little over trimmed and did not get any more speed. Plus as you can probably tell I'm already going through the winter blues:) And I just want to talk boats:) What do you think it would take to get 70-75?

Gary, I was not saying anything more than what prop I was using. After I re-read my post , then yours I realized I did not give my prop size.

When Tyler remapped my ECM he raised the rev limiter to 5400.

From talking with Tyler Crockett it will take head work, roller rockers, cam and exhaust to hit 70(+). I have the exhaust already which is one major expense gone. I think I can get the rest done for around 3k, including dyno'd. I had planned on shipping my motor off to Crockett once I got my boat home, but I added almost 2k in extras while the boat was at PQ, might need to wait a couple more months.


Jan

I was just making sure I didn't inadvertantly insult you. I knew you were at Tyler that's why I knew you would have an idea as to what it would take. So, I'm pretty much stuck with the rev limit unless I go with an msd. When you say headwork is that new heads or rework the ones you have? I wondered if you could just rework these heads. I'm just gonna go with the exhaust right now because as you said that is a big expense. I'm leaning towards the Stainless marine's.

Gary

Re-work my heads. Tyler would perform decking, valve seats, and install bigger valves. He has a complete machine shop and does all of his own work.


On exhaust I got a friend upgrading his motors and bought his Gills for $1200.

If you watch the parts for sale section, exhaust always show up for about 1/2 price.
