    DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT THE BOAT TO DO.AFTER MY KIDS GOT OLD ENOUGH TO HANG ON GOOD,I FIGURE IT WAS TIME TO TURN MY LAKE BOAT INTO A SLEEPER.DO YOU WANT IT SAFE OR FAST?LIGHTER IS FASTER!
    I want it to run alot better than it does now. This boat is nasty, not at all cared for. I'm going to learn how to put pics on here as I restore this boat. Right now it's 3 tone.Green/Rose-red/Silver!! I mean YUUCK!!! The motor is just as nasty to match the hull,leaking oil,water,& exhaust tapping leak. It came with a Webber4bbl. It ran 48mph@4200rpm. Bought a new dual-feed Holly750. It seemed to come out the hole a little better,ran 50,maybe51mph@4400rpm. Embarassing,this thing is slow. I sure would like to dial in 65-70mph.

    Oh Yeah, The Foam Supports The Deck, But A Little Glass Work Will Too!
    Is your deverter hydrolic,manual, or electric? Is electric and hydrolic the same?? Do you allow people to walk on the deck ,or lie on it? i don't let people walk across the hood of my car' and I felt the same about the deck. Wont it stress-crack it, or am I over protecting it?

    I'm from New Orleans. I'm now in Newton Co.Ark. In the Ozark mtns.south of Harrison,Ark. I play in Bull Shoals lake, Beaver lake, once in Table Rock in Branson, Mo., but I didn't like the traffic,and the water patrols pick on jet boats when ya not even moving. Where ya at?
