Thanks for the invite, if my trailer is fixed up by then I wouldn't mind the trip. right now the trailer is an undersize POS but it gets the job done and my nearest ramp is within walking distance so I've slacked on fixing it... I should get to it anyway.

I really like 56 mph !! Fantastic. Wonder if it would run that fast if transom mounted - no bracket.

Probably pretty close, no matter what its still a 225 backin you up! just make sure your transom can handle it. that much HP will tweak a soft transom past anyones comfort level...

new bow rail fabricated and installed!









psyched its finished!

Sweet man! I'm usually not a big fan of bow rails but that is a real nice compromise between necessity and looks, the low-profile looks great.
