Thank yall for the encouragement. And Skippy he is a great little helper, I hope the boat gives us great experiences and memories for a long time.

Cool project. Love the all Red hull. Don't see many of those around.

What you gonna put in it for power when the time comes?

Wet Bowtie 12-15-2012 11:17 AM

I'm not sure about the power yet, right now I'm thinking a mild upgrade rebuild on the original 420's but you know how that goes. If I can afford it when the time comes I'd like to see 650 hp a side which is about max on TRS drives from what I am reading and hearing. Unless I find a great deal on some motor drive package.

I see you have a baja 250! what an upgrade from a 25 footer!

sparky24 12-16-2012 08:56 AM

cool, what are you expecting it to cost

Wet Bowtie 12-16-2012 11:13 PM

It is definately an upgrade! I cant wait to feel the difference in two boats. Although my Baja has been a good fun boat. And as far as cost I would love to get it on the water for under 30k. I can do almost everything myself so Im hoping that will save a lot.

How fast was one of those with the 420's in it? I love the red.
