Very nice looking boat. I would say good luck with the sale, but I would rather it still be on the market in the spring when I am ready to buy.
 
so, how does this boat run with that motor? do you have some more detailed pics....this boat looks nice.

whats going on with the tabs and does it porpoise much at cruise speeds?
 
WHY are all of the nice open bow BB's so far west? Boat looks really nice - I'm a fan of the blue.

Kevin - THAT is your boat. You could get some cash out of that BB and drop yours in. Less interior space than my 'rays (especially the older one) but better build quality and more unique looks. You'd end up with one big and horribly fast BR!

If I would have seen this a month ago, I might have a bunch of motor work and a swap ahead of me!

Good luck with the sale - would be nice to see it go to someone on here.
 
yes, i like it....have never riden in one though. would love some input on the ride and handling from someone who has been in one.

also, need to find a buyer for my pulse if thats the case.....better get it prepped for sale in the future!!

Shoot me your e-mail for more pics. Boat runs mid 60's all day long. I'm not sure what is wrong with the tabs. It behaves pretty good concerning the propoise unless you have heavier adults sitting in the bow with a lil chop going on.
 
I have pretty close to the exact same boat, with a silent choice exhaust and no trim tabs, and run it on the west bay and little traverse bay in northern michigan, and its a good ride.
