the boat will probably be stripped down this winter and all the hardware will replaced. i need to wetsand a few spots also but overall the boat is in pretty nice shape for its age comments and suggestions welcome!
 
thanks alot for all the kind words guy, i appreciate it =). yes the merc is a 200, the boat is not setup properly yet am in the process of buying a jackplate and testing a few more props. i ran the boat with a 26 chopper and only did 53, i couldnt get the loat to leave the water. so i threw my 23 trophy on and the boat is running much better but i am spinning up to fast on the top side so im gonna try my freinds 24 trophy out and see how it runs. thanks again guys
 
Sounds like your in the right direction, need to untrim the mota and jack it straight up with some more off set too! Ben running 10in + CMC hyd jack for 12+ yrs. Enough to keep most the hull above the water in any conditions and the mota running perpendicular to the surface.

And take it from me, If you run hard in big water you want as much bracing at the transom as possible just as a precautionary measure!!!!!!

p.s. NICE STARFLITE :cheers:
