getting close to launch time
Pat:
River is starting to call our names. We have to make a point of running up/down the river more this summer.
I know I have asked this question before, but what is the estimate on weight with trailer for the 24'?
I hope to put the swim platform on next year -- could not get the spouse to sign off on it this year.
Pat, I really need you to show me the mount position -- as to prevent another coupler issue.

Hey JMK406,
Long time no hear...
The River is definitely calling...
I am hoping to do some testing on Saturday afternoon. My engine seems strong mechanically, at least the compression test I did was good. Just need to get my MPI calibrated...
The engine mount thing is no problem. I'll show ya what to look for. Basically you don't want to see any space opening up under the top locking nut.
Your 24' Superboat hull weighs about 2000#, the engine drive are 1200#, fuel & gear 300#, trailer 1000#
Total about 4500#. My 24' Pantera package weighed in 4700 at the local gravel pit.

THE HOLES ARE DRILLED AND THE PROP WILL BE ONE INCH BELOW THE BOTTOM.THIS X CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS BEING BEING BOTH FAST AND SEMI USER FRIENDLY AS THIS IS NOT A RACE BOAT.JUST A TOY TO TAKE THE KIDS TO THE BEACH (QUICKLY)

Pat,
First weekend in May! How'd you make out? Cracking the 70mph barrier is more important anyway.
Z.ZUP,
Don Frost Marine Interiors(Park Ave & 109) just did the complete upholstery on my 24, came out excellent, except they are very busy right now. Front buckets just need to get installed, then she's mine.
