This boat, for those who do not know, is one bad mutha, in many respects. Tomorrow is a work day on some mechanical issues. Tues, we'll be back at it. 2 more sets of props to try in stock.
Looks great Brian, corners like a roller coaster, that is a great statement.

Keep the pictures coming...

Boat looks great. Congrats. I like those phantoms. Im not a trailer expert so i hope this isnt a stupid question but why only a double axle trailer. You normally see a triple with boats over 30' or more. Did you use heavier duty axles to only have to use two.

Yes, heavier axles, but in truth I should have gone a little more. No real need for triaxle. I'm sure many have different views.
