I can't wait to try this thing. Break-in forthcoming. I can almost taste the fish now.. :beer:

Sweet!

tell me about it ridge, i am trying to get mine ready to take to the dealer monday. i went to the dealer yesterday and he was mounting twin 150's on a parker. they had the cowlings off, the only thing i recognized was the spark plug wires.

like rmb, i had progressive on the v the first 5 years i had the new motor on it back in 95. it was around $250 a year for around $10,000. worth of coverage.

looks good, enjoy

MJ or Valiant, I still can't see any of Ridge's pics. HELP!

How about the link I sent for the one picture Bradford?

Hey Ridge... As a favor to you,(so you can have more time to do other things), I'll be happy to take the boat and do the break in for you for a few years or so.. No, no,...... no thanks needed... it's the least I can do for a fellow boater. :beer:

I'll do him one better. I will gladly let him fill it up, and then come over and do the break in for him. Even test the hull/prop integrity on a few rocks out on the flats for him. Since I'm local I can do this service for him on short notice.

While I do appreciate the generosity of the offer Destroyer, Ferman has first dibbs. Shall I take a casting of what the skeg looks like now, as in a BEFORE picture. Seriously, might be the last chance to see it intact. :haha: Time to see what this thing can do. To the lake.

Hey now, my skeg on my jon boat is still intact(by some miracle I don't know how, that oyester bar last weekend was HARD!). I will say my SOLAS aluminum prop is one tough SOB. I hit some stuff with it that would have WRECKED a michigan wheel, and it just got some knicks in the blades(which polished right out with a scotch brite pad on my grinder).
