Diesel captains are not allowed to talk until they actually use a gas burning rig that makes over 400HP and burns more than the delivery gas sometime in this decade.

Thats true, but it looks like they may have addressed some of those issues with the standoff boxes shafts, and xz drives, your running stock power and hitting 100mph, for you guys that like speed, I think you would be happy with this one, those guys have poured a fortune into this boat getting it set up right, not to mention, they know what they are doing , hired the best, and had enough pull to get huge discounts on the work, of course we all would have a lot of horse trading and selling to do to snatch that one up, unless of course your Joew. and looking to turn a christmas bonus into a big fu lake conroe boat the economy is bad, but I doubt it lasts past thanksgiving.

That power is bumping 10 years old and over 160 hours with no records of a refresh on the top end.......

Pretty boat though and if you stay out of the throttles, those valve springs and valves might last for a little while

I have read that insurance rates have come down though.


Get off OSO and go work on that bucket of yours........ I will be by later to help you if you need something.

I am not a diesel captain and there is no kettle here sir. Considering the Mares cat only went to a gas station when they delivered it and the scarab still had the same gas in it when you sold it.....................

And the Excalibre broke more engines than my scarab...........

I am inserting a kettle here for you.....

When are your engines going to be back from the builder?

Special K, you better not be in town. Especially since you're on the computer and not out there ripping up the ciggy.

When he gets back from his camping trip.... I just took them down last week. Cams just got finished yesterday. Still need new valves and springs. They will probably be ready in about 2 weeks.

I am moving from club 105 to club Milstead starting in Dec. so I can be out before the 1st of the year, so All my boats will be finished by then. Bold statement, but very possible.


Here, I am putting this in for you married guys, because for some of you, it has all ready happened, and for others, it will soon start.
