Geesh - how many of you are still boating this time of year!?! Ha, come on - 80 gals at 2.5mpg = ~200 miles. Maybe it's time to head for Cancun.........

Rain forecasted for this weekend, so who knows - I'll try!!!

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
 

Rain ? Stop , Its Not Snow. Need True Gps, Empty Boat. Otherwise 500 Efi For Me. Cancun!!!!!! Let Me Know ? We Will Meet You There!!!!!!!!! Gary

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
 

Gary -
500 efi??? If you got that kinda money, pull dat trigger!! The SB is not going to see huge numbers above what I've already reported just by running light - what is your goal? 75, 80, 100?? Speed takes hp which takes $$. I'm happy for now running lo to mid 70's, but I'm sure that could change any time.....I'll try to get empty WOT numbers before Santa drops by.

Gary - I hear ya! I'll get the WOT numbers as soon as I can - no one wants to know more than me!! :)

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
 

So did you get out this weekend? I just got in from Louisiana :drink:

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
 

Superbabi...14K more now...you know you won't regret it... so seriously do it. You can never have enough h.p. You will cruise at 70 instead of "hitting" it. Full tank or empty...these hulls doesn't matter all that much when you got ample power pushing it. It's worth doing it now... when its brand new... even though it drives up the "price" of the boat "out the door".(That new 300X of mine was 20K to go so far 6mph faster...)

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
 

Bash, I Would Love To Go 525 Efi. And Be Done With ( Speed / Hp. Wish Lists, Dream Lists, A Little Faster, Top End , Etc ...it Never Stops. All You Guys Know That. ) $14,000 .. 500, $18,000.. 525, $2500.. Twin Ram Steering, $4000 Extra Strong Hull Lay Up. ( All #s As Per Jc ). I Wish My Pockets Were Deeper. Do The Math, I Will Really Be Up There. If I Only Sold That Damn Baja!!!!!!!!anyway, Let's See What Happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gary.

45 horsepower for $14,000? :eek: :eek:

I'd go 496 Mag(375hp) for a year, then supercharge it... :D
