Thanks I don't think I'll ever figure out how to open the pics

[Filmwritin]

Yeah, who gives a damn about the price of gas when you can fire somethin like that up!

[Hallett]

Your motor looks good but you need to put some
boost to it. :)

[Robin Boyer]

I would do anything to hear that suremike! Were are you going to be sailing this engine around? Oh man thats a show winner right there I think!

[jbone]

That's like porn in a weird kind of way.

[Surmike]

This will mostly be run around NM but will be making a few trips to Havi and Mead. The set up on it is just to get it in the water and used to the power then its going way up.

[livin da dream]

very nice.
If that beast is going in that 26 DCB what speeds are you projecting and what drive are u planning on running?
Best of Luck

[Surmike]

ya its going into my 01' mach 26. I'm figuring I should be around 80 to 90 mph?? But for now I'm sticking w/ my Bravo 1 and will upgrade in near future. :cool:

[Surmike]

This is what its going in. Finally going to take this thing out of storage and use it after having it for a year and a half.

Real nice boat...bet it will run good with that motor in there...

[SoCalSouthpaw]

DAMN!!! Niiiiiice, real nice. May I ax you a ques'ion? Who made you paint it Purrrrrrple? :hammerhea

[Surmike]

I will have some final photos as soon as I resize them. But it sure runs great and looks better than I could have dreamed. A huge thanks to all involved in getting her on the water again.

[MudPumper]

Did the cops laugh at you when you tried to report that a band of homos broke into your garage and painted your motor purple??? You got a good burglary and vandalism there. Just kidding bro, motor looks killer no matter what color it's painted. :crossx:

[BRAWNY]

nice looking boat
now that you've had it in the water,what kind of #s did you get
from your set up? :crossx:
BRAWNY

[redneckcharlie]

ya, how about some numbers? :rollside:

[Surmike]

first day out we ran a 32 labbed 4 blade to keep the rpm's down and ran 65mph at 4000 rpm.
Second day out we ran a 28 4 blade and ran an even better 65 at 3500ish rpm with getting on plane almost instantly.
with these #'s still having more than half to 3 quarter throttle left.
Still don't have the external steering on so not really trying to push it hard, also just enjoying getting some seat time and learning real quick this handles alot different than a v-hull.

[Surmike]

first time out on water

Aside from the gremlins in the boat being kicked out finally. This entire package has worked out rather well so far.
And for the purple haters out there you would have to see the motor in person since on a pc screen it is a little distorted for what ever reason. In person it actually matches the boat and trailer rather well. Just FYI for the haters. Ha Ha

[playdeep]

...How's the water level at Conchas?
I have not been there in years.
Boat looks good...I actually rode in it a couple of times with the prior owner.
That boat used to have hydraulic steering...guess it got sent up to Farmington along with the original outdrive :rolleyes:
Saw you up on Tramway a couple of weeks ago...

[Eliminator 4 Life]

You putting that motor in Aces boat its the right color.. Post some more pics of your boat I like the colors... :cool:

[playdeep]

Nice Pics...:)

Sounds good, stop by anytime.
I did hear about Stu...he was pretty sick in the end.
I understand that Nora is doing pretty well the the dealership.
BTW, the water level at Conchas is about 15 feet from the spillway...it took some convincing but I talked the boys into going to conchas the first time and now I think they are hooked... :rollside:
Talk to you soon,
Don B.

E4L,
Did you get those controls installed in the boat yet... :)

[Mrs.charitycase]

Beautiful!!

[Surmike]

Ya that was when we stopped to get some dinner on the way to Conchas. What a nice lake. Ya the steering went w/ all the other parts I guess, but thats next on the list to get put on it really needs it.
Stop by and check out Dons new place sometime I think you'll like it. Water level at conchas it great and not alot of people out there.

[Surmike]

Ya I don't think Ace could handle the power!!!!!
By the way thanks for setting him up w/ the Nordic he loves it, and is getting alot more use out of it than he thought he would. And I will post some more pics of the boat as soon as I resize them for the site.
