That boat really turned out nice!!! I'm going to drive my viper this summer and then maybe go through the hull like you did with the Predictor. I enjoyed seeing the pictures along the way

Adam, great looking boat! I know you put a lot of long hours on the paint work. Now it's time to open a cool one and enjoy. Costa

Predictor is in the water!!! The weather is suppose to be nice this weekend so I will try to get some good pics and action shots.
I think I may need to throw some tint on the windshield.

[Boston Predictor]

very nice. tint is your friend;)

[175checkmate]

Boat come out outstanding. Here is a thought. Looking at the black lines you have and how they flow up the boat. Maybe paint the window frame black.

[JUPITER PULSARE]

Looks great, nice job!!!!

It was a beautiful weekend up here! The boat rangood until the power trim broke. :mad: Oh well, just another sign that a new 150 is needed. I got a bunch of pictures but my wife has the camera. She said she will get them on the computer today. I raced a 20' Enchanter I/O. He got me going one way and I got him the other way. I was running the 22 laserII, had I had the 26 chopper on I would have got him easy. :D

[Adam L.]

Picked up some tint this weekend but didnt get a chance to put it on.

[Adam L.]

Okay here are some shots from this past weekend. Something is wrong with my camera. The red on the boat looks really orange for some reason. The pictures dont do the color justice.. Anyway here are some pictures.

This was my son jacks first trip out in the boat. You can tell by the expression on his face that he really enjoys wearing the life jacket.

adam those are great shots. that red is a super bright color.

heres the plan. find a 150 for around 2 G's and sell your 115 for a G. boom instant fun.:cheers

[Boston Predictor]

I love that air shot. those are hard to get

[wickedrister]

HECK YES!! The boat turned out really nice Adam. It looks good an it looks fast. Hope you find that perfect power for it. We know that it can't be driven with no trim. Looks like you will just have to pull it and when you pull it you may as well put what you really want back on it. A nice 150 sounds good to me. Good luck hunting for one, I will keep my eyes and ears open.

[Chris E]

Jack looks to be old enough to start driving that boat!! My co-captains started driving at 18 months, i think that was a little late! should've had them driving at 1 year. all they did was go around in circles - now at ages 5 1/2and 3 they still like to go in circles! The neighbours must think i'm tanked when i go out in the boat!

Adam,
Great looking boat!!
All of the elbow grease sure did the trick!

I am planning to get my boat in the water this weekend.
I am on vacation the week of July 24th.
Maybe we could hook up.
Get some pics and videos!!
I live in the Rumford area.

I want to see the 2 Red Predictors side-by-side!!
Boats of the Month??!!

[88 Enchanter]

Nice looking boat, how long did it all take???

[Adam L.]

Nice looking boat, how long did it all take???

Thanks,
we started the project in the fall and finished it in early June. Dont know how many hours but it sure was fun. You can see all the pics in the overhauling page.

[Chucker]

Wow! 6 Months already? Seems like just yesterday when he was born. :)

[Adam L.]

Ya he is growing like a weed. Loves the boat, hates the lifejacket.


Here is a stupid short video I tookwith my digital cmaera. It was a bit rought trying to hold the camera, the wheel, and the throttle at the same time. I will try to get some better videos. I was just messing around with my camera.

Here are some shots I took the other day. It was about 7:30pm so it was getting a bit dark. I also made an attempt to tint the windshield this weekend. It didnt work out to good. I think I am going to have the take the windshild off to do it. what a pain:brickwall:

[CHECK16]

WOW Adam!!! The boat looks really cool.Love the pics.GREAT JOB!!!

[Adam L.]

Thanks Check16,

Your new boat is sweet. How doyou like the 125? I have been looking for a new motor all summer and saw some left over 2 stroke 125s and was contemplating one. I would like a 150 but I would have to get an older one for size purposes. It would be nice to have a new reliable motor.
