Great pictures!

Sorry to hear that the interior is STILL delayed... McLeod should be embarrassed. :(

It is supposed to be delivered to LOTO this Thursday, with cabin interior. :confused:

We will hit some nasty water this weekend with the shootout. I'll let you know how it did next week.

MP, I ran with your boat an a smaller sunsation yesterday. I picked it up near metro beach and continued down to jefferson beach marina. I couldn't quite catch it as my 47 only does 80 or so. But I did get close when they letup. It parked at the resturaunt, I needed gas. plus there was no room at the dock.

From this thread it seems you were not running it. Hopefully this wont be the last time I see it as you expect it in MO soon. But It was awesome to see it run closer up!

I hear it is the new Lake St. Clair water taxi. Maybe McLeod was on it taking measurements for the bean bags he's gonna toss in the cabin this week?

I like the bean bag chair idea. :rolleyes:

Not sure the status today, and not sure I want to know. Boat probably won't make it back out on St Clair for awhile assuming it gets delivered this week. Wayne keeps telling me he is taking it easy on it, but I've ridden with him too many times. He doesn't take it very easy. :D

If 80+ and 8 people on board is taking it easy you don't have anything to worry about. :rolleyes:

8 people? MP, we have a new sales slogan for the F-4. "You can get 8 in an F-4!" :drink:

Wayne called me today, he was prop testing again - he put a 5 blade 32 herring on and got 94. It was just him and he was low on fuel.

I wasn't Joking, It was about 4pm on Sunday, At least 6 people including a couple of kids on board. "My wife commented she was surprised they were running like that with kids on board"

My neighbour had a tour of the factory on the 16th and they told them the new 43 was not there as it was at a poker run.??

Seems your boat is making the rounds. Unless there are two with the same paint :(

94 though, thats pretty impressive!

I know. He loads it up and takes folks out. Many of them are the folks at the factory that built it. He generally meets people at the ramp and takes them to lunch.

He was not at a poker run the 16th, that was the day he took some folks from PowerBoat magazine out in it.
