INDY27 - Looks great!! I'm sure you're going to really enjoy it.

I just stepped up from a 27' to a 38', and other than trying to learn how to back the d@&* thing into my slip when there's wind, I love it (thought twins were supposed to be easier : - )). I'm sure you will too. So much more room and freeboard, not to mention smoother riding and faster.

I'm sure you're already thinking about it, but make sure you pay attention to the valve springs on the HP 500's. My 38' had 158 hours on it and already had one broken spring when I had them checked. Couldn't tell, it ran great before we checked them.

Enjoy the new boat!!!

I hear ya. Same results going from my 27 to the current 32. Backing up, well, pretty much didn't. Switched prop rotation, night and day difference.

Indy,

Is that a radio on the top of the dash? Curious why you would have the remote if the radio was right there also.

US1,
The stereo was in the boat when I bought it, see in the photo where they had the remote mounted on the the dash panel. I moved it during the install of the new panel. Not my first choice for radio location. Now I have to sell my 27 , anybody need a mint 85mph boat? Docking is not to bad, sure is nice to be able to spin the boat with twins! Thanks for all the compliments!
