Good for you and them. That's a great way for them to earn customer loyalty.

The Imco should hold up fine. So is this a 550 or did you have it upgraded to a 625?

Agreed with you on the "fitting" part. I was tight on my rig which had mold level clearance - (look at the water return line)

I was assuring of its fun factor-once running - getting in is a @#$%^&*.

Hook up and come down! I got off street parking, close access to flush hose etc.

Launch ramps are free but no fresh water (that's legal).

I'm stoked about Spin's upgrade.

The outdrives on and the engines installed!! They're still finishing up a couple of things like the hydraulic steering and the exhaust tips. I'm hoping we're going to be able to water test her this week!

Looks nice. I don't know much about the X dim on a 29 but man that drive sure looks like it is buried. Any idea what the X dim is on that?

We're thinking high 80's low 90's but I'll be sure to post when we water test it.

As far as the X dimension goes we're going to run it and see how it handles. We think we may need to swap the lower out with a shorty on but we'll see.
