The drives have been blueprinted ie CNC'd to remove any casting defects and make sure the drive is perfectly semitrical to provide better flow accross the drive. I believe Wilson Custom Marine was the company that did the drives on Gus's boat.

Mercury's lowers are castings and the skeggs are not true, meaning they might have a slight bend or distrotion in them of some kind. They basicly make the skeg true, straight and no waves or bends. Here is there website with info.

Nope, your off the hook. NO tubbing for you this year behind the SLW. I'll see you soon at DS. Gus has some obligations he can't get out of so he can't be there.

We will continue the Skater SLW Tubing / Youtube ride in LOTO for PokerRun. If you go. Blume was already working on your GOPRO Helmet. It had "PokerRun388" on one side and "LOE Marine Sherman, TX" on the other. It will go Viral on youtube.....

FYI, Wilson has templates and they handfinish the lowers to a very detailed spec. They are not CNC, but they do an amazing job regardless being that they are the industry standard.

The SLW 388 is a beautiful boat, hopefully we can see it at the Loto Shootout?

Blume is correct................i spoke to freddie k. He sai d the lowers are cast.
Does that mean many of the skaters lowers are off center ?

Bummer, I wanted to see that boat in person. Too bad Gus can't make it. Thanks for the update though, Blume.!
