beautiful build, approx., price and top end speed with this package? Any updated pics
Hoping for some rigging pics shortly and we will post them. Not sure on the top end as I don't know there's another one with the 600SCI/XR package. THere's one with 700's and NXT's that I believe is north of 140. Without any whipple magic done to the motors I think we are guessing in the 125-130 range. We'll see.

I really like how you change up the designs of the interior not just the color schemes like other builders. Nice stuff coming out of there!

Initial water test completed. A little bit of a water pressure issue to attack and need more prop but overall solid first go. Hit 115 off the limiter with 1.35 XR Sports and 34P Max-5 props. Hoping 36P's will get us there without needing to mess with drive ratio but hits the limiter quickly so well see. Also looking at a .5 spacer for the drives it sounds like. Thanks for being the guinea pig Kenny...steely eyed missile man. :)

This thing will pop when the sun is out. Battery hide cleans things up nicely. Question: The X dimension was a little high and you need to space the drives down .5?

I think thats what the theory is. Prop slip is at around 10% and it sounds like its a bit of a challenge to NOT blow the props out on roll-over. Not sure though if the additional 2" of pitch will keep it off the limiter. We collectively believe there's still at least 10mph hidden in the setup.

Looks badass! Will you run this up here in the PNW, or is this a boat for down south only?

I live in Vancouver, WA so it will be on the Columbia and local lakes. Maybe a trip here or there to Shasta and DS in '19.

Sweet. We'll probably see you on the Columbia at some point over the summer. Will be at DS as well, and Shasta a time or 3.

What local lakes do you run on? Not real familiar with WA lakes. We typically hit LBC a time or 2 through the summer.

We boat a lot up at Boardman in OR. Have run on LBC as well but not often.

You can barely see the rub rail looks like a complete cap.:)

Kenny got the boat to reach 128mph before she left the factory. Excellent numbers for an all around setup!

The more i look at this i feel this is the best looking boat of 2018! A lot of insane rigging detail went into it. Just noticed the trim pump plumbing, fiberglass gunnel pockets just seriously everything. I love this build

Agreed. It pays to be patient and let industry experts do what they do best.
