there you go!
there's nothing wrong with turn-key reliability. g/l, let us know how she does.
What props are you running?
hey tim, was your 34 still easy to dock after the drive switch-a-roo? I'm contemplating this, i think the 34 is already a breeze to dock, but i don't want to loose too much manuverability.

got her running today....managed to get 65.8 on GPS on the 1st run.... trim and tabs were down.... one of the engines was over-heating cuz of a minor problem with the water-feed so we got her back and took care of it... im going out again tom... there still alot of little things to get done as well as alot of cleaning........... not to mention the cabin has been barely started.
ill tell you guys this........ the name is "KEEP WALKING" with the Johny Walker logo in between both words.... and we got rid of the factory windshield....
ill get the pics taken when we take her out tom.

thanks.... i mostly tried to clean it up... and give it a more modern look... although im not really loving the vinyl graphics and i did it temporarily... once im done with the enterior ill get rid of the vinyl graphics and work something cool out....
before anyone asks...the original windshield was broken..so i went ahead and we did a similar..but smaller windshield out of fiber glass molded into the hull itself.... came out pretty good...
