Randy as you know those Star 32's were just to get our reference on what the TUFF likes as far as Rake, Pitch, etc.
Pretty impressive for a stab at it.
The good news is that test run enables us to now build a true custom set for the TUFF per your feedback sure to be faster..... with a cruise also that that Hearings design does not provide for.
Custom set on the way ASAP.
The pictures do not do this build justice compared to in person.
Who ever ends up with this boat will be a lucky person.....

NO! I quit counting after the first stack. I gotta take your word for it all being there. James and I did a coin toss for $1000. Bastard won !! Now I'll be eating hot dogs and burgers all summer! Sure makes your Cherokee look small.

New thread to start soon with pics, impression, eval, tests & all that stuff one does to go Screaming and Flying

Gonna be a little different than that Checkmate !

**Greg G** · 05-17-2017, 10:06 PM

I love the bet (and the boat) reminds me of watching the old boys Liars Poker bets when I started out

I think I would invest in some transom straps. That boat looks intimidating from the outside of the jeep so I know it looks big from the inside- Boat turned out sweet, look forward to seeing at some of our runs.

How are the brakes?

Dave

Dave no icy roads in Palm Beach just a bunch of idiot drivers who go from the fast lane across 5 lanes to the exit in 100 feet. Im sure the trailer has breaks

Boat looks fantastic by the way. Maybe I will see her in the intercoastal or is this a fresh water boat only.
