    The beast is finally on!

    Finally got got my engine on. The builder got it up to 77 with a 25p fury. The best I got was 75. I have a couple of set up kinks to work out but I’m loving it so far

    Great looking rig. A rig like that will be easy on your knees as you get older.

    I’m really glad you got your new rig in your hands! I’m sure you will hit 80 once you get it all figured out and the motor loosens up a little. What kind of RPM are you turning right now?

    Shes a beauty, congrats on years and years of awesome fishing!

    You have to get a WOT pic though, come on! I’m living vicariously through your pics right now!

    I have a really terrible video when we got it to 73. My fiancé is a really bad camera holder lol. I tried posting it but couldn't figure it out.

    The builder told me was at around 6200 at 77 maybe a tick more. It was right at 5900 at 73.

    Once I figure out a windshield ill be able to get some longer runs at speed.

    That sounds awesome..gives me goosebumps! I bet you’re towing it around just to get asked about it every 2 minutes! It is a GatorTrax, doesn’t it deserve a Florida Gator on that Merc??
