Rick, well, babi's right side up!!! There's quite a bit going on at SB, you'll be busy. Don't neglect the "babi"!!!! Hey, Rick, when will hull & deck be joined together?

You know... as babi's mature the spend a lot more time sitting on their bottom... as opposed to layong on their bellies...I guess babi is starting to grow up right before our eyes!

Can't wait till he/she? learns to swim!!!

Oh-zone, Come On Down ( Superboat ) March/april When John/rick Dial In During Sea Trials !! The Boats Will Be Prety Much The Same. Are You Thinking Blueprinting ?????????????

Hey Gary,
I must have missed the post when you upgraded to the 525...
Fastedy's said his boat runs 79-80 with a Merc 500 and 82-83 with the HP3 525/496.
You should go at least 82-83; I would guess faster with a 5 blade...
Don't forget what Professor Jcap and Zuperboat have learnd...

What boats are currently the competition for the Y2K ( I don't see many! )

The Phantom 30, Lavey 29, Scarab29 ?? Any more?

PAT, I FIGURE IF I DON'T DO IT NOW { 525 HP } I"LL END UP REGETING IT FOR A LONG TIME. THE ONLY THING IS THE 496 OFFERED A EXT. 6 YEAR WARRANTY, THATS NICE, BUT OUR QUEST FOR SPEED WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST, SO IT WILL BE A 525 !! WHATS NICE IS THE 525 UPGRADES YOU TO XR DRIVE, FOR THE FUTURE ???? I LIKE YOUR #'S WITH REGARDS TO MPH. , DO YOU THINK WITH RIGHT PROP WE COULD SEE 85 ???? LATER PAT, THAT DIRTY LITTLE DEED CALLS ,,,,,,,,,,,WORK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,PS ..........RICK IF YOU GET THIS, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THE BABI !!!!!!! LOL HA ,,,,,,,,,

Gary,
If your going to a 525, why not add the ITS system like Oh-Zone's boat?
It's only money...

Money.. It's funny how your up 25 grand more before the boats done. Thank god for banks!

Bajababi, Im considering blueprinting as well. I asked John in regards to $$$ early on but he didn't commit.. If you would like to share... do tell... or email me...
