That is a sweet looking truck http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

Thanks man. It's a great truck with GOBS of power stock. I am coming from a Cummins 5.9 (2007) which was a great engine, however; the power is not like this 6.7. I was getting great mileage and it has dropped severely after the mods. I went from low 20's at 70mph, to 12-13's at 70mph. I cannot believe the drop. In my Cummins with similar mods, I lost about 3-4 mpg. It's the price we pay to play though. I'm thinking abut adding a Spartan programmer. Still not sure but I know that deleting the DPF crap will add a few mpg alone. The Spartan will put her at around 1200lbs of torque (or more) as well http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif
I have heard nothing but good things about Spartan, once my warranty runs out I will most likely go with Spartan. DPF Delete and Spartan Programmer.
Thats strange about the gas mileage drop, usually you get more with some tuning though. I am only getting 10 city and 12 highway after the lift and tires. Your decrease may be because of the lift and tires as well. I know they sure affected mine. I was getting 15 highway.
I test drove a 2011 and it rode great and felt like it had more power than my
2010 6.4 does, 350hp vs 400hp big difference. I would have bought the 2011 if it were not for the huge deals on the 2010's at the time.
http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif That King lift is slick too, is that a 6 inch lift? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif

It's a 4.5" lift. If you think it rode good stock, it rides 100 times better now. The rear end does not want to bounce all over when empty and it just absorbs the bumps like they are nothing. An amazing kit (Carli Suspension 4.5" Pin-Top King 2.5).
New Rig in Garage now - unfortunately I can only get reports on how it works!!!!!
Besides, now one trusts me to drive the thing when my highest speed before was 52.9 mph! LOL
DD - is it Eyra nearly ready to explore a top speed?
Nice RiverPro k3Fisher. There is another on of those in the area too. Would love to hook up with you sometime to learn the river better. I've fished it before with little success.

Some pics that show and "old seat" on the rear deck was something I rigged up for the Mrs. I'll use it when I need it, as well.

Very nice bird.
TY... Picked it up in June...Only has 25 hrs on it. So far, top end w/1 person, 1/2 tank gas, part of Wal-mart stored away and that 36v TM on the nose....74.5. A different prop would probably get me to push 76-78.
Updated: It did!

I sure like it better in the water. :wink:
This is my first attempt to get a picture out here. I was on Clinton on Sunday and took a picture just as I was leaving. I think I needed a little better light than I had so I will try again but this will work for now.
Last year, the boat I had developed engine problems and fought me all season. I bought this boat from out of state last fall and I am still waiting my State of Illinois conservation stickers....imagine that. It is a fun/faast ride and best of all....it starts every time I hit the key:thumb up2:

I'm retired now and lost my need for speed, so after many years of Stratos glass I bought my first tin. 2011 Crestliner VT19 w/ 115 Opti. I don't fish tourneys and this guy fits my needs. can still get 50mph, gps.
Nice looking rig. What Size prop are you runningQuote:
