    The winter project

    Well I just picked up the plug, and she needs a nose job. Thank the stars the rest of it is all fiber glass. It shouldn't take long at all to fix it up and pull molds off from it. The bottom will get a little change, to make it better.

    Just talked to the guy that built this plug. Numers are: 350 with alpha drive mid to upper 60's, 454 with bravo drive mid 80's. And yes the whackers are running in the mid 80's, all stock power plants. The 2.5 works best, 3.0 is not the best choice.

    Cool as hell, oh yea.

    Hey Shaun, the fish are biting at Woods Canyon, 43 degrees this morning.

    I talked to Rick, and I can use Canyon Boats. And he has print on every test that hot boat did with this boat. I will have to scan it and post it, that way you can drool some more.

    depends on what you consider to be "good speed"....with a single 2.5 merc it is said to run 85...there is/was one for sale here with a 2.4 on it..the guy claimed 84 on the gps. there was another one with twin mercs on it floating around....he was claiming 108...i think im going to see what the closed bow version will do with a 3.6 v8 on it when i get back from the desert in 2010....if i can get into the high 80's with it ill be happy....i dont know why the concept never caught on with the bow rider tunnels...seems like a cool idea to me

    Yea you take those crazy City slicker's out of the City and they can't handle it. They will be hooking each other with nasty snatch hooks and running each other over on the water. They started the stocking program back in 1978, good to see that it all worked out.

    There will be as soon as the molds are done. And I will ponie up money to Greg to become a "VENDOR" before one is placed for sale in the market place section. I'm not going to be a cheap shot spaming fool. Start saveing your pennies now.
