Thanks. The sides and transom Sherwin Williams ultra 7000 base/clear. The bottom single stage.

Ran the boat today. Ran strong, steering is awesome. Cannot say enough about the hydraulic steering. Unbelievable difference.

We have a steering hose leak. Right drive fluid reservoir hose is leaking. Leak under left motor(not sure what). And... < drumroll please >. Blown head gasket on Rt side of left motor. The party never ends...

South bound and down loaded up and headed to gulf shores boys. After a 2 week marathon of various issues to resolve on the boat, we are going to use it. When we get back we plan to spend most of our time working on the 38 footer.

I've got some video my daughter took from the beach but I can't get it to play. Here's a video I took of my daughters boyfriend driving, Shon to the left, and my daughter Lauren.

We ran the boat about 80 miles this weekend. The boat was running right at 70 with eight people and a full tank. Turns out the 4 inch pulleys we're running on the blowers aren't putting out hardly any boost. When we get back we'll swap to the 3.5 inch pulleys and prolly reprop. Good times!

Honestly...70 with that load is very good...looks and sounds like all went well...great looking bunch of folks.

Thanks Sprink, thankfully they got their looks from their mom. Here's a few videos my daughter took from the beach. The quality is not great but at least you can hear the engines in these...
