We really wanted that boat but were afraid to take a chance because of the hours. Also we don't fish and would have had to remove all the fishing gear and were worried about repairing all the holes. Really wanted the hardtop and cherry interior. You've got a great boat there and we are considering doing the same thing you did with our cabin floor.Yes, why do you ask?
Didn't get to point of survey. I live about 3-4 hours from the boat and wanted to come see it but the broker was really trying to get me to commit to a number before even coming to see the boat which turned me off. And then there's all the mounted rod holders and down riggers which I would have had to remove. I recall the transmissions having trolling valves as well and was leery about that as well. From what you've revealed they didn't seem to be an issue. Anyways, we ended up with a nice freshwater '97 which we bought from the original owner.Did you have it surveyed at all? I know a lot of people looked at it.
According to my survey I'm running 21" X 22" 4 blade Nibrals. Boat ran to WOT at sea trial and topped out at 35 MPH. I really didn't think this boat would go that fast.Quick prop question... for those with 7.4s... what are your prop specs and are you happy with their performance? I'm running 20" diameter x 25" pitch 4-blades.
I have 21 x 24 four blade props. 454 horizon motors with 380 hp. I have touched 37 mph. Cruises nicely at 26 mph at 3400rpmQuick prop question... for those with 7.4s... what are your prop specs and are you happy with their performance? I'm running 20" diameter x 25" pitch 4-blades.
What are you using for MPG/GPH data? Calculated or metered? I'm looking for a flow meter solution for my boat.Cruises at 26 mph at 3450 rpm - .7 MPG, 16.2 GPH,
I purchased the Fox Marine Gateway and connected it to my Raymarine system. The MPG and GPH are calculated values from the engine computer. The pic shows the values. I was still working on the port motor, so that one was a little high. I trust the starboard motor's data. The MPG is overall average based on GPS Speed.What are you using for MPG/GPH data?

About 20 hour hours of Buffing and waxing, a day of cleanup in the cockpit and cabin and she is ready to go!
Its been a long Winter!
I went to the Kendor Upholstery shop in Franklin Wisconsin. I brought one of the starboard closet removable panels for them to match.
I just mounted mine on a 2" riser with ZERO degrees. I have the Raymarine Quantum and it works great.
I love my autopilot. I use it EVERY trip

Well, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! About 35 more hours and she will be ready go for the Summer.
Yesterday I finished the Bow and Starboard Side above the rub rail. I tried a new product called Sure Step for the bow. It turned out great and I hope it holds up for the Summer.
Also added a 27" Sunlight Readable Monitor for the Cockpit. New Raymarine MFD's have a Mira-cast feature which will cast what ever is on the MFD to another monitor. Now I can see the Fish finder from the Back of the boat!
