Dave,
I saw your Vegas in the for sale section, NICE boat. Someone will get a nice hull, and deal. It was a little far away for me, or I would have contacted you about it. I only have to driveabout 2 hours each way to pick up mine.
I would MUCH rather have the white interior that yours has over the black interior that mine has. I never saw the black before.......is it rare or something? All I know is its going to be HOT as heck in the summer sun! Need to get some seat covers or white "boat towels", and a good bimini top.
Let me know if you want to trade your run of the mill white interior for my ultra rare special edition black interior! LOL!

Just checked my Land and Sea jackplate, and you guys are right...........4" setback. I think I will go with that to start. I would rather have less porpoising vs a few mph on the top end. Dont need to ski,tube or wakeboard with it, as we have a ski boat for that. This will just be a fun go-fast boat to keep up with the big boys on the river! See you out on the river, Riverratt .
Still have to pick up the new ride......this week sometime. Then the Bridgeport EFI motor swap, jackplate, hydraulic steering, getting it dialed in and proping. Should be a blast. I have a 24P RE3 to start with.
Thanks for all the help guys, will post some pics on the progress.

i run 12" and can cut back to 9 with this plate, but i like the way it feels at 12. except by my self. it feels really light and congrats on pickin a fine steed. there are better, but a vegas is a lot of fun. it also can be a challenge to drive. but if it was easy every time yiu got in there you would just hit the gas and go wide open. i always wanted a boat that i couldnt just get in and run wide open . one that scared me a little i guess. mine porpuses below about 25 or maybe 30. but right after that i run flat trim and can carry 5 at 12" back and even with bobs lwp. a 28 chopper cruises at 35 at 3500. its nice, i tell ya
