Handle fine over 100.. This boat ran 1"teens" to 120's if memory serves with the twin turbo motor in it..

New owner is playing around with some different motor combos. The boat is very solid! BUT, it wasnt always that way originally from Cole. Ken Meyers at B&K in Bellflower made a lot of nice upgrades for me. He fixed the bottom and added full length stringers in the sides.

The next task will be the trailer, which I'm not really looking forward to.

The wife wants a swimstep, too .

I keep dodging it, but she is persistant. I picked an OG fiberglass one from BoatCop a couple of years ago, I have just been draggin my feet to get it done.

Newbie here. Heres a couple pics of my 83, 21' Howard, engine is a 548 with a 10:71 pump gas deal, turbo 400 trans, 48% gears in the V drive. Bought it new and did the outfitting myself. This is not the original engine and I've made a lot changes since it was new.

 

[Just Electric]

nice cruiser :bowdown:

 

[420HOA]

Very nice, I like the seat post set up.:thumbsup
And welcome to the board

 

[RiverDave]

That's a bitchen cruiser right there. I love the floor setup with the v-drive peaking up through it.

RD

 

[RyanPartridge]

That's a beauty of a cruiser!:thumbsup

 

[vdcruiser]

Thanks for the compliments guys. It doesn't have as much bling as a lot of the West Coast cruisers do, but its been a really fun boat and has surprised quite a few 100 mph Jets and Outboards.

[vdcruiser]

Nice Nordic, love the long deck. :thumbsup

 

[randyjet]

I posted the fact that i am redoing the interior and mentioned doing a spatter gelcoat and everybody went nuts so what direction should I go with the floor as I stripped it of all rigging and am sanding all the old glass and going to do something. Should I do a 1/4 endcut balsa floor with clear or what. I want to keep it light am powdercoating all aluminum and doing a complete rerigging. Have new motor to drop in as well.
