Congrats on your completed project. She came out AWESOME. Not a huge fan of red but yours came out great. Nice shade of red and not too much. Great combo. Enjoy her and may you have many hours of safe boating.

You can peel off your break-in stickers now Steve, I'm pretty sure you're out of break-in mode by now.

Very pretty Steve, I polished my lowers and the boat slowed down 2 mph. I put the spares on that are 80 grit sanded, picked up 2 mph. What does Razor run on his lowers?

Is that true? Identical other than being polished and 2 mph?

I'm about 2 weeks from having a lot of time to goof off with the 28. I am going to do some prop/height/mph testing.
On my old pro max's I sanded and primer-ed the bottom 1/2 of the lowers.
Are you sanding lengthwise on the cases?

I'm not sure what Dales running. I'll ask him when he catches up with me. ;-)
