Thanks. Wasn't good enough though to receive any awards. But judging by the party we had around the boat all day I still consider it a success. [emoji481][emoji481]

All you need to do is sit back and realize you had a boat to compete with the rest of those there.
Most of us can't say that, so you should be proud of your accomplishments.

Rogerthat99. Wanted to get a pic of the boat. Multi tasking at its best.

Time to put 10 break in hours on it. [emoji106][emoji106]

 

[Outdrive1]

I should stop by and take mom for a spin.

She's the one driving. I'm stuck here at work. Have to put 10 hours below 4K rpms. So she has break in duty before I get out there. Then we change props and can run. [emoji106]

[Sawtooth]

Congrats on getting it back to the water RB, from the before pics it looked nice but now it is over the top. And that is so cool that your mom aint skeerd to take out the hotrod without you being there and do a little mid-week boating. :thumbsup

As I am cruising up the 95 this morning, saw her in the middle of the river. 10 hours should be completed early

This boat really came out nice. Congratulations.

 

[Riverbound]

First time driving it today. Still have the small prop on it as its a completely different boat now and want to get some seat time. I'm VERY happy with the numbers I saw today.

Obnoxious got a few pics for me today. [emoji106]

Awesome!! [emoji106][emoji106] I remember driving for the first time. What a great feeling. Makes all the hard work we do pay off. [emoji106]

Looks really good on the water. Now stop messing around and drop the hammer on that thing.

Oh I did. We still have the small prop on. And in very happy thus far. Having to learn how to drive it all over again. Quite a bit has changed with the new power and setup.

Did I see a little wiggle going by foxes?

There were some rollers from a boat coming off plane.

I was going to say it looked like it was hunting for a set a little but very nice being that it's the first trip. Looking good.

What's the most noticeable change you notice so far affecting handling? Is it the outdrive or power?

Both.....The outdrive makes the boat run way flatter than it used to, it's also seems to be more slippery. It turns completely different. the power and 1k more rpms is huge. The boat just keeps going and going. I have yet to really leg it and see what it will do. The boat just wants to go.

It was great to be back behind the wheel.

Can you do us favor? Maybe take a short video of the detail work of the interior and what's under the hatch. A tour... You might call it.

Won't be back out to the boat until DS. But will do. I crawled around the boat this weekend. And there were tons of things that I didn't even know we're done. In the rush to get it done for needles I never really had the time to check it all out.

 

[Ballyhoo]

[RiverDave]

How do you like the handling with the shorty vs the traditional drive?

Looks like the cruising speeds have increased substantially!

 

[Outdrive1]

Bill did you do a Sport Master or Imco?
