Been playing with the motor and learning how to work on outboards for the last few months. Took it to the marina to do my final idle speed and low speed timing. Figured I would offload it and run it to the sandbar for a minute. All I can say is Barney and company built and build bad ass boats. With a 35 year old stock 2.4 200 Black Max and a bent chopper prop the boat went 61.5 mph with no trim adjustment or movement of the jackplate and under 5000 rpm. I had a total of three three people on the boat, two trying to sit in the cooler area in front of the console. Boat is a work in progress. Going to buff out the color and start working on the interior while I play with it. Uflex silversteer or Seastar Pro steering will be next. I have no idea what this boat is capable of in its current form. Going to keep it old school where possible, keeping the original leaning post, console and teak platform, but modern where safety is concerned. Brother in law will be posting his up soon. His is coming out like a show boat. Mine will be his ugly step sister. Then one more coming up from my nephew. His will be the one that hauls ass and flys on the drain plug. My brother in law are too old for that. We just respect and love quality boats. And nothing comes close to these Actions.
