    I'm back!!!

    After some wheelin' and dealin', burnin' and turnin', I've got the boat back up and running. It only took all of my spring break to get it completed too! Well before my motor blew I had ordered new seats and wheels back in October, had I known what was to come I would have saved that money (Fred's injury and motor cooks itself). Now, after doing some work on Brian's boat and fixing up another motor to trade, a few lessons and so forth I"M BACK BABY!!! I'm so tickled you can't even imagine! I'll post some pics of the finished product later tonight so check back. BTW, I got a smoking deal on a 92' 175 Merc. And tonight's no.s are (with a stock 24 Trophy that came with it) 62.7 at 6200 RPM's. I've gotta go bigger. Hope to see 64 at the end consistently. This is with T load, 3/4 tank and 1/2 in the other and another person. This boat acts completely different from that old 2 liter that came on it. This one's on me tonight fella's!!!

    I know right? It's like the shoes make it look completely different. It was mostly a safety issue, I painted my old steel wheels but they were so far rusted and gone that there was a lot of flex in them. The paint was cracking off in a high stress area. They were rusted thru and was afraid that they would fail. I found these on ebay and won the bid cheap. Thanks man!

    Good deal Aaron, I'm happy for you man. You gotta love it when a plan comes together. I hope the new motor works out real well for you. You guys gotta see the work Aaron did on my old Stratos, looks like a different boat, I will get some pics up one of these days. I think we need to give a big thank you to BeeNix for getting the ball rolling on this one. Thanks guys!!!
