Wanted to get a video of the boat at the dock, saw how beautiful the Lake Crescent, WA. was on this late fall day, had to post it. Reached a new top speed of 59.7mph on the GPS.
Mahogany and maple, all planks book matched.
The mahogany wind screen is attached with 6 ss machine screws, with threaded inserts behind. Removal is easy and provides access to GPS antenna and back of dash.
GPS speedo, tach, H2O pressure, volts and water pressure gauges.

Just bein nosy, we used to run the old 2 blade brass props and hammer a little cup into them on a trailer ball if needed.Quote:

A couple of years ago my brother and I had the same issue ........... we had to lose weight if we wanted to maintain or gain speed.Quote:
