Birdog,

Thanks for the kind words and yes that is my boat's interior in the ad. It is amazing what they have transformed the cabin into. I would love to see some before and after pics.

It amazes me what some people do, and you are right screw them.

We are happy with the results of the 5 blade props. The next thing we are going to do is try some drive spacers. We are still at about a 14 percent slip so we think we need to get the drives into some cleaner water.

The rpms were right about 5400 with the 5 bladers so we have the right props, and man do they hook up the boat.

I will continue to post, and screw those who are not interested. If you do not want to know or hear anymore, then don't read it.

Congrats Thunderdan!!

I've been keeping track of the progress. I can't wait for the final outcome, of course were always tinkering so......I've got Thunder Roy over here in Clearlake I've ridden with before and those boats are amazing. Now if I could just talk Thunder Roy into selling his for a reasonable price!!!

Dan

What would a half dozen pics of your cabin "in progress" be worth? Cathy when nutzo with the camara on our factory tour when the ThunderStorm was being built. This is prior to the counter top being put in. They are pretty clear. E-mail me your address and I will mail some copies down to you.

Dan, I'm very confident your going to crack that century mark! As far as the dirt bags sending you PM's. Screw em! It's amazing what jealousy will do to people!
