Looking forward to hearing the results Sam! I'm interested to see the difference in not only top speed, but fuel burn as well. My guess is that you'll see at least a 10mph gain, but burn about 50% more fuel (drop from about 3mpg to around 2mpg). Your Skater is now going to run as good as it looks!

Hey guys I have been running hard between family and business obligations. TNT has been awesome and Ron is my point man helping clean up some of my wiring issues and consulting on the install.

I'm going to ask Ron to post the progress from Miami.

I'm planning on running the boat a couple days with Ron to tweak the set up before heading home. We will share our results.

I have to say when Sam decided to send his boat down here I was really excited to finally get to see it in person. I would also like to say that the quality of workmanship that Boat Customs did was awesome. The boat is solid as a rock and after crawling around in the bow working on some of wiring I could not help but look things over. I can say would not hesitate to send my boat to Chris.
Currently do not have a ton of pics but will post some of what we have.
The project is moving along at a rapid pace and I am sure TNT will meet Sam's schedule.
This rerig should prove interesting as well with all the changes Sam made to the boat when he cut the deck off.

Waiting on polished stainless transom plates. Added a ladder for him. Love the notch in the middle for step in the deck.

Had to make a wedge due to the angle of the transom.
