  1. Latest upgrade:

    I often wondered if the engine could be raised another hole and what benefit a pair of 5 degree wedges would be to this boat.

    Well, now I know that both were well worth the time and limited cost.

    I spent a couple of hours and about $65.00 on this project.

    The results: She will definitely hold a plane at a lower speed. Now about 17 mph.

    She will plane with the tabs down with almost zero bow rise. I am really gonna like the wedges when I have 10 people on board and we are coming home in a steep 3' chop, which looks as if it may happen this weekend.

    Tucked in! the trailer is alittle nose high but you get the idea.

  2. Reduced Again....Now $23,900

    I told myself I wouldn't talk money over the INTERNET, well...

    I am HOPING to get near 50% of what I spent on this rig in the last few years!

    Please no reminders of my financial decisions and their consequences.

    I spent what it took to have 100% confidence in the safety of my family and guest while on the water.

    10k hull

    18k motor

    4k transom

    3k bracket and steering

    4k trailer

    3k wiring and electronics

    2k misc. pumps, other stuff

    ---

    44k or there about.

    I only resort to listing this information to drive home the dollars spent verses the potential purchase price of this rig.

    I don't use it often, and I clean it regularly.

    Thanks

    Matt
