Yellowfiero's playmate resto!

Boat looks great. The only thing I would change is to black out the rest of the chrome/aluminum to match the windshield.

Brian,

I just read and looked at the entire thread. WOW!!! That is really nice! I had no idea you were doing all that. J and I have been really busy with our new jobs and I haven't been online much at all. I hope your back is feeling better by now, but I know you struggle with it most of the time. That was a lot of work, and it looks awesome!
 
Got it out last weekend for a quick shakedown. Couple small problems, but no big deal! Went to put back in and in blew one hellofastorm!!! 2' waves, sideways rain, 60mph wind, and hail :irked:. By the time we got it back on the trailer and headed home for the weekend, the sun had come back out.:pissed: All the water around here is to high, fast moving, and to much debris floating to trust running it.

I will say this, shake down run with a 20p SS prop was impressive!! Only going off speedo so I want a GPS speed before posting!! Once I get it dialed in, I will post some GPS numbers:devil:. She handles better with the 115 on the back!
 
Finally got a chance to take it out today and run it. No GPS but the speedo is almost dead on from past results. With 200# of sand bags in the front so she sits level, and only short calm areas I saw 58mph. It launches out of the hole with a quickness and pulls hard. The things runs like its got a turbo. When all 4 cyls kick in it puts a smile on my face everytime:D!!

I even got my first kill with it. I was running almost 50 and out of the corner of my eye, I see this bayliner. The driver is all hunched down like he is going 100. I noticed he was slowly gaining on me.....till he got along side of me. It that point, I smiled at him and put the hammer down. Needless to say, I left him feeling like a fool!! When I seen him at the ramp, I said hi but for some reason, he would not even talk to me. :lol:

I ended up clocking 2 hours run time on it today. I got 2 issues, one is its not charging and the other is the tach is not working. Other than that, it performed flawless today:bigthumb:

I will be sad when it leaves next week, however it does give me time for a couple more ladies to get bikini pics on the deck of it :thumb:. I'm thinking one in a red lower, the other in a white lower (notice no bikini top color) making out on the front:welcome:

Met up with Randy yesterday in WI. I am hoping he is happy with the boat but by the look of the smile, he was!!! No real excitement going up there. I got a hitch on Megans Vibe and off I went! 20 mpg loaded with the boat, 60hp mariner, me, and both kids. It was 105* till the nasty storm blew in with 70+mph winds. When we woke up today, it was 58*:confused:. On the way home, I got 32mpg..... wonder if it would pull the green boat:devil:

I know he still wants to do a couple more things so hopefully he will keep updating the thread! :surf:


BTW, I think Randy was impressed with my son's amazing ability to pick up women in bikini's!!!:thumb:
