I wish they would have brought some bulletts to the show.. I can understand why with how much booth space costs, but still they are missed.. Bad ass boats.

Possibly getting some photos sent to you that could go in a thread for the "Fresh from the mold" section. Would love to see it, and congrats on the new boat. :thumbup:

yep goin from DCB to HCB as soon as Mike and Gene start sending me pics I'll post them up. I haven't wanted to bug them with Gene's eye and Mike getting the boat show, But Damn I'm going nuts. I'm like a little kid. Dave, gene said my Bullet should be ready for the Havasu boat show. I'm kinda uneasy about having people crawl all over my new boat

It will be fine at the boat show.. Anything that happens they will fix, but overall other then finger prints on the gel boats don't usually get damaged at shows..

Great video showing "real life" testing. The Howard is a great boat, smooth and rattle free and keeps the beverages on "chill". What size 5 blade? What other props have you tried with what results? Where these boats really shine is when the Havasu wind picks up. Keep that video cam rolling! Thanks for the video!

Dave is correct,maximus shortened hub,minimal flare,flow torque ll.
Really haven't tried any other props,its smooth,pulls good and mid range is excellent.Its turns 5318rpm@87mph carring a far load.I don't run around wot all the time so i like how it runs at 50 and still pull skiers up easily.Not to mention my fuel consumption is tolerable.

Hope to see you on the water this spring/summer. Your boat looks great and you could almost see the blue on the coors cans in the video. Thanks for the video and the prop info.
