Hi all-Name is Chris (Christo680) & i,m in Rochester,NY. Do most of my boating on Lake Ontario &i its surrounding bays,some Finger Lakes trips. I currently have a 1990 Vision 221 ,that is just about finished with a full restoration.
I bought this boat 3yrs. ago in pretty good shape,ran it a few seasons & decided it needed a new interior.that was the begining of the end!
Upholstery from Checkmate arrived late in the season so I didn't install it.(last year) Since then the motor went in to get "refreshed",(454bbc--360hp). Well, we opened it up to find sone broken & weak parts. Motor guy estimated 300-325hp. One thing (or part) led to another & by the time we were done it wes pushing
500+hp on the dyno.
Can't stop there so it's going in for paint hopefully this week.Can't wait to get it in the water and see what it will do. Hoping for 80+(did 69 on gps last year).
Anyway,enough of this, thos is my third 'mate & seventh boat since I was old enough to own one. I am looking forward to hooking up with some mates from the forum this season.
Anyway,love the site and reading about other peoples adventures,projects.etc.. Keep up the goow work!!
