RR, look thru the gallery at "on the Fly's" boat. As far as the hp, change the stickers on the cowl to a 225

Spare, I have looked at all of the galleries. That is a small console. I call that the day boat look. Simple, functional and beautiful. It took me 10 years to do my 20 and that is too long. It gave my brain too much time to figure out how to make it overly complicated. Bells and whistles are nice but simple and functional are the reel roots of these boats IMO:)

BTW, The 250EFI has no stickers on the outside to indicate HP it was recently painted, in a wind storm no less. Hoist the 40 lb lid off and the ECU's have 250 stickers all over.

Since I can't afford to fly spareparts down to drive my 20 to 60mph I have taken it upon myself to go on a diet. You know increase my power to weight ratio.
I got a 21pitch prop, repainted the lower and have been working to resolve all motor issues. Hope to raise the motor this evening, set the throttle position sensor and be ready for a lake test this weekend.

Good luck with it Ridge, and make sure you have your shut off lanyard attached!

I agree 100%. Kill Switch Lanyard to be worn at all times when boat is in motion, no matter what speed. In addition we will have a full life vest, no riders and a couple bystanders with 911 on their speed dial until we see how it reacts. Hopeful to get some pictures. I don't care to take pictures while driving but will improvise there, maybe a quick shot of the GPS at maximum velocity.
54 was without drama, no ill tendencies except you have to train yourself to watch for big waves much farther ahead. I posted it before, the extra speed is a novelty that won't be used much. But, I would be lying if I said I wasn't having fun with this endevour. |
