Thanks for the compliments..If you look at pic #1 you see that i had white pinstipping added around the colors to break the colors a little and if you look in Pic #5 its still the way it came from the factory..Am not sure if i should pinstip the bow to match or take the stipping off the sides to match the top..Lets hear what you think..Pinstipping or no pinstripping...I just cant make up my mind...so am looking for your opinions...Thanks

Anyone have an opinion

[Boston Predictor]

nice boat. I'd leave it how it is.
What is powering it and how fast?

[claupie]

very nice boat..is that color called mercury blue ???

[253 SED]

Not sure of the color as im waiting for Mike at Cmate to get back to me...She's powered with a 454/450hp...Started as a 330 and was massaged a little...She runs right at 60.1 on GPS...Am still thinking about more power but am not sure yet..Would like to build a different bottom end but am still looking for a good deal on a few components...But runs good and is dependable now so big hurry

[253 SED]

NO big hurry

[253 SED]

Boat of the Month?????

[Boston Predictor]

It would be a boat of the month if it were an interesting shot. Get it in the water first

[253 SED]

Will get more pics as soon as the river opens up and the ice moves out so i can get on the water...

[253 SED]

Yes boat is from columbus area..Am looking for any info anyone has on the boat..This is my 3rd year with it and cant seem to find out to much about it..Only the guy who had it can i cant remember who he was and the dealer donts have the records anymore..Anyone know anything they can share with me..I did hear it had BIG power and ran very well..Would like to know what power was in it..I heard SC and NOS...only and oringinal onwer oarted motor out before i found out who he was...Hope someone can help

[checkmate175]

Nice color scheme! If you are looking for a little more top end, play with some different props. What are you currently running right now?

[253 SED]

Am currently running a Labbed 24-4blade bravo 1....got any suggestions on anything else...I have tried the same prop..made by hydromotive and didnt see any changes....I think there might be a little more top end...Thanks

[checkmate175]

I would think the hydromotive prop would do more for you. You could try 26 pitch, but I doubt that would do it. An option you might want to look into is that Stern Jack by Land & Sea. From what I have heard most people are happy with them. Good luck in obtaining the boat's history, let us know when you find out anything.

Try getting your local merc dealer to run your serial #s for your drive. I gave the engine and drive #s to my dealer and they gave me info on the origanal owner.
