Nice,

[bluecheckmate]

[Reaction19]

Your interior is identical to mine.

[bluecheckmate]

[Matt Gent]

What kind of jackplate is that? It looks to be a very low setback.

[bluecheckmate]

a 6inch setback bobs hydraulic. it looks low b/c i raised the transom and took off the splashwell.

yeah me too!!!. i was using yesterday the 28et with three people on board 35gal of gas and it got on plane perfect very amazed . The only problem i had was the motor started overheating a little. Brought the boat back home, changed the impeller and hopefully today ill go back out. If i see 70mph, ill be happy.

[3togo]

I appreciate it. Yeah that was at matheson yesterday. First time out. I might go out there but not sure. People on here are saying that there going out of blackpoint. I'll rather go off of bayfront if that's the case.

[3togo]

I'll be leaving out of black point. We were able to secure some slips sometime back. Helps to avoid all the crazy.

No matter were you leave from if you are cruising about enjoying the view look for me.

[bluecheckmate]

[MERCRACING]

Boat looks good, you did a nice job. Hope to see it around.
:cheers:

[bluecheckmate]

Ill be down in the keys tomorrow if weather permits. If anyone is riding out there tomorrow give me a shout. I got a couple of people that are saying they might go out there tomorrow so maybe try to get a small group thing going on.

[Reaction19]

hows it hang the nose?

[ivan2214]

im going to try to make it on saturday but will be down there sunday

[bluecheckmate]

hows it hang the nose?

I think its hanging pretty good. I look back at the water the only thing that's in the water is just the very back of the boat. I ran it with about 3/4 tank on the way back from tiki last sunday with another person on board and got it around 6700-6750 rpms. The more trim you give it the more the boat pulls. I might send out my prop to get work done or probably look around for a 28 chopper.

[Reaction19]

i have a 26 trophy and a 28 trophy that i have left over from when i had the reaction and i wanna sell them both i have no need for them anymore! hit me up if your interested! 305-613-6805!

[liberator280x2]

Virg... Hows the Q-shot, tell me that boat doesnt ride like a 21 ft. Are you going to the ranch?????

I owned this boat after original owner built it. Had a stock 2.5 200. Best run was 69.5 gps with a 26p labbed bravo prop. Boat was very fun to drive. I can't imagine what she will do with that beast on the back. I tried a bunch of different props but it handled the best with the labbed bravo. Good luck,the boat looks awesome since you redid it.

[bluecheckmate]

So far with a stock chopper was about 72 and still pulling. I ran out of space. I just got my chopper back from leading edge and its a big difference. I wanna thank Rich for doing a fantastic job on the prop. Very nice guy and very reasonable with his prices!! Hopefully don't have to trim as much to bring the bow up.

[Reaction19]

your pissing in the wind with a chopper on a reation! et trophy case closed!!!!!

[bluecheckmate]

your pissing in the wind with a chopper on a reation! et trophy case closed!!!!!

I have a long gas tank so the trophy really needs the positive trim to bring my bow up unless i go back with my 12 in setback which rode like crap. Im going to try out a 10in setback and so far the chopper as been a faster prop. i haven't tried out yet a Real ET.
