Here are the results of the last 5 saturdays. My buddy Jon and I put in a lot of work, changed the swim platform from an old teak one to this aluminum and replaced our old 3 inch tips with these 4 inch.


By the way, if you plan on drilling out your 3 inch exhaust to 4 inch with a hole saw you better pack a lunch. That damn transom is 2.5 inches thick. No wonder the thing weighs as much as a truckload of elephants.


Up next: New trim tabs...

Yeah, those drives are a yearly battle. Slipping the boat definitly has its downsides.
I got the platform at Lake Cumberland Marine. According to them it was a take-off from an outerlimits. It was raw aluminum, so I had it prepped and powdercoated locally.

I honestly don't know. They had this one listed in the classifieds here, they said it was off an outerlimits. I dealt with a real nice guy there, Jeff Boyle. His email is [email protected]
I got it for $1275. It was raw aluminum and I drove to pick it up.
