HD, to tell the truth I am really enjoying my Scorpion tunnel hull with the 225 Merc-Mariner hybrid on it, after driving flats for years it sure is nice to cruise ny home lake in a moderate wind without a kidney belt, as this was a winter project it has turned out better than I had hoped for, so as in racing I have learned to expect the little gremlins which pop up rather regularly.

Lets see it, post a picture. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
HD, that is what we were going to do the day I took the wife, but she forgot her dig. camera, and now she is gone to Lake Amistad, at Del Rio for a kinfolk deal, as soon as she gets back that will be our first priority, naturally I am biased but I think it is a beautiful ride.
Whoever invented Murphy's law must have been a boater. How about this story, my first trip out this year, water pump goes out, engine starts to overheat, shut it off quick but still got hot enough to crack the exhaust manifolds on both sides, flaps, gaskets , and I'm still waiting to see what else. Oh and I forgot , all this happened while on my honeymoon. Now I can' wait for that first summer trip that makes it all worth while.
Ain't boating fun ...

Havasu is about 550 feet elevation if I am not mistaken. I am going to keep a close eye on the gearcase. I plan on draining it to check every time or two out. If I find water in it again, I will have the seals replaced.
Hey post some better shots of your recwently purchased flat on the v-drive site. The back is nice and all, but I want to see the paint. Thanks
