A friend of the family had Rudy Ramos put it on his Spectra way back the earlier 80's. He said it made the boat really come to life. From what I've heard from people about it sounds like a "money is no object" adder kind of deal.

vs ? speed coat {to me,my opinion}is a spray on bandaid to refinish the freshly blueprinted bottom,rather than a regel that would "round" the corners you just sharpened.now iv heard that it will make the bottom "more slick" but who knows.id say in and of itself, no.combined with a good bottom tuning,well........

Combined with a bottom tuning:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup Made a HUGE difference on my boat

Well my boat is an 18ft tunnel, wont polishing and waxing the crap out of the bottom be good too? and what kind of $$ are we talking?

what mfg. is that? whatcha got for power? and what does it run now as it sits,at what rpm? im by no means a "bottom guy" i just spray it and push it out.but my basic understanding is the back 3-5 ft. need to be sharp and straight. put a straight edge to the leading edges of the outside keel of the tunnel and the center pod.as far as $$$,no clue.ask around with some of the racers here for some direction.

Damn thats a sweet looking boat! How are those Demons working out for ya? Are the demons out yet? Demons are a 50/50 shot. Some are good some ain`t.

:grumble:I hate those carbs with every fiber of my soul. I have nothing good to say about them. If I could shit money, I would burn them and buy a Holly set up. The quality right out of the box is shit. I had to send 3 bowls back to demon to be replaced, cause the casting was Fu**ed. If you like demon carbs then good for you. but I will never recomend them to anyone.
