Wow, the comments from everyone really mean a lot. When we first got the boat back and started this it was a super personal thing, but after seeing the excitement from others when they found out what we were doing and then deciding to start this thread, it has really been awesome to be able to share the journey with so many people. There are so many negative things in society today - just turn on the news, so I think it's refreshing for people to see something positive for a change. Hopefully our story will inspire others to take on projects that mean the world to them, or at least make them smile for a few minutes. After all, it just takes dedication and hard work.....and sanding and sanding and sanding.....

I was actually there to see this boat Still Crazy Racing in the day ,back in the early 80,s at Turnberry Isle Marina . This was a beautiful boat then and even better looking today .When I last saw this boat at Guardo marine they were working to complete the boat and it was looking great !
Glad to see you finished this project !! Now drag that beauty to Sunny Isles beach offshore challenge and show that boat off at the Historic Miami-Bimini Offshore challenge June 16=19th in Gulfstream park ! These boats are why we started this event .

Hello everybody!
We spent this past Saturday learning to drive and throttle Still Crazy from the best - Steve Stepp
With our new hydromotive 15.5x31 5 blades, on flat fresh water and up against the limiters, this is what we ran

We are really happy with that number since these are our non-labbed, everyday props. More importantly, the boat handles like a dream and the setup seams perfect so far. Hopefully with some 34's we'll see triple digits!
Needless to say it was of the best experiences of our lives as we spent all morning learning to to trim and drive on Lake Monroe and then headed to New Smyrna to get our first chance to jump some waves. Running hard in the ocean is an absolutely addictive blast and we can't wait to get out there again to practice and learn. What an awesome sport
