That's cool, i really dont like v-drives.
Been there done that with the big block motor. Cool yes!!! Stupid yes too!!!
When it comes down to it, how many girls do you see at the river compared to havazoo??? You probley could not answer this question considering your v-drive would sink in a matter of secconds in havazoo.
I dont want to get into a big pissing contest, so it is pretty much "what ever floats your boat"
I would rather argue with some CHINK doing 55pmh in the fast lane on the freeway.
At least we have something in common, BOATS.
Yo chief,
You came in here throwing up your 2 cents and it wasn't exactly complimenting. Most of these guys won't respond to you because you're not taken seriously (kind of like that adorable little BBSP).
I was at BBSP sat morning and may have even met you "I dont know" all your boats look the same to me. Everyone there was sitting on the beach twiddling their thumbs. The v-drives (2) that showed up there friday jumped out of thier boats and yelled out "who's fastest", "get it out there"! The single 4 barrel Hondo v-drive proceeded to hand someone their ass before the guys came back to the beach and yelled "NEXT!". 45 minutes went by before anyone (ut) finally answered the call. UT got out on the blue flatty but gave up by half track. That was that!. The 2 v-drives then fueled up and drove the remainder of their 50 mile trek back to needles marina.
I have a hondo that has been on havasu many times. I've been on 3 day weekends, regular weekends and weekdays. Haven't sunk yet! Never got towed in! I did have to dodge a bunch of idiot weekenders on jet skis and huge boats that have no clue nor care about their giant wakes. But that was my choice to make.
I believe a lot of guys start out in less expensive jets or v-drives but lack the mechanically ability to build a dependable motor or they bought the boat from someone else who didn't know how to tune it or build it right. This discourages people after a few tow-ins or a fire and they break out the big $$$ for a maintenance free cookie cutter boat (like yours). The rest of us mechanically proficient types stay with the 1 of a kind "true Hot Rod style" boats and in some cases own a family boat as well.
I'm not here to dump on outboards nor have I, but you my friend are out of line comin in here talkin shit. Have a nice day btw car motors were in boats long before the first outboard.
