Yeah Skools, thank you for taking care of me with the steering (fabrication, free steering arm, nuts, bolts, the list goes on and on ;-) ) and the million questions you answered for me. The steering works very nicely and as I said in another thread, this baby performs like a champ. The steering coupled with those 200 ponies makes for a fun ride. I'm sure I'll be crying at the gas pump soon enough, but hey...

On the previous boats I owned, it seemed like I would be driving blind for a long time before the bow finally came down on plane, but that's not the case with this baby. She gets up on plane like nobody's business.

I don't know how this boat performed with the sea drive, but I think what they say about better performance with brackets seems to hold true in this case.

My only complaint is that the scuppers tended to bob above and below the water. When they're under the water that sort of defeats the whole purpose doesn't it?
