Well guys, I've ran her a little bit, got right at 6 hours on her and I am in LOVE!!
Jay did an amazing job on this thing. Every weld from top to bottom is quality and his attention to detail is incredible. The boat turned out better than I imagined it. The custom build was something i'll do over again every time. Getting phone calls asking if i want this or that cut a certain way, being there and sizing things up, making adjustments as he goes. It was definitely a neat experience.
Rob put the carb and exhaust on today for me and lemme tell ya, those two make a HUGE difference.
Bone stock i ran 23 and bumped 24 with 4 people and the dog
After the upgrades, i ran 27 and hit 28 with 3 people and the dog.
My top speed so far has been 29.1
Here are a few pics. Once paint and turf go down and everything gets wired up, i'll have more/better pics
Grates to keep crap from rolling/sliding under my floors
Me, Instagator911, Z71v2.0, and Swampbilly carrying back the piggies, and cant forget Hazel, my Duck, Goose, Dove, Pheasant, Quail, Squirrel, and Hog dog..
My buddies waiting on the ol Prodrive to get unstuck
The handles in the rear have already been very useful, on and off the trailer, as well as the steps.
Me (150), buddy (250), other buddy (210) can stand on the extreme rear of the boat and the steps are only 1 1/2" under water or so, maybe less. This width hull could easily float twin GTR's
The switch box on the false transom is located in a very easy to reach position and looks pretty damn cool too
The gutters are nice and wide and catch everything, no clogged gutters here
With a load, this boat turns and handles like a sports car
Empty, well, lets just say she doesnt, not unless i let off the gas a little on the turns
