CrownLPX, We don't use the boat in Colorado, no lakes big enough. We are in Steamboat and spend the summers at GrandLake in Oklahoma.

Looks fantastic! Did you change out the cabin colors too? I could never get over that OEM fabric.

i would like to know a story about the design of the cabin's colors, yuck... I've had the seats, back rest and pad up front re done in solid red and yellow. Plan on this winter replacing the white headliner and side liners with a yellow velvet type material, we will see for the interior guy doing says it will look great.

Nice job on your P-29. Like the idea to remove bow rails! Streamlines it, and race boats should not have bow rails anyway ! Did you run with the big power yet ? I always wanted to try something like that with mine, but 78 mph aint bad for a 29 V with mouse motors. I know the guy from Mercury that had a lot to do with the design of the Black Hawk and putting them on a P-29. He mentioned that I would have to put extention boxes on to see 100 plus. Said I would run out of boat or kill myself. PM me if you want and we can talk.

Nova, that's actually my boat on the forklift in the background (#29). I actually took that photo when they towed the wreck in, and someone grabbed it off my FB page and apparently posted it LOL!!!

I have the 95' with the same hull and power as the 96's . Factory equipment. Purchased new in 1997 in Fort Lauderdale.

Which # was this?

I ran into the guy that owned that boat last year at the LOTO Shoot out. I believe it was number 3. Insurance company totaled it and it disappeared.

Mark, We did get it in the water with 550H/600Torque. 80ish at less than 2/3 throttle and about 4700rpm. Busy holiday and too rough to finish dialing in. That was all with 1:65 gears, in the process of changing those to 1:50. I believe Gary M that use to be with Merc is who you are talking about and he has some extension boxes for the boat as well longer tabs i would like to get a hold of.
