The Wait Is Over!

Now when I have you order motor parts you have the same thing to reference. lol
Looks real clean, I notice you have the quick release on the hatch, alot of the guys don't for some reason.
 
Took it out for a quick ride this afternoon. I miss my outboard! Don't know if I can ever adjust to the feel of the i/o!

Looks good Gary.. very clean from the pics.


What do you miss about an outboard?? They ride rough, can't do much to wake em up, and are too quiet! lol. That motor you have in there is a good foundation for making some hp..

Don't tell anyone, but I miss my old outboard at times too ;)
 
My old o/b Enforcer with a bone stock 225 ran 62gps and had a good ride! I guess what bothers me about this boat is the 24deg. bottom. It rides great, but you can tell it's running deep in the water and doesn't have that sporty feel of the outboard 22deg. running up on top of the water.

I swore I would never take a car motor on the water. I was wrong on that. Then I went the I/O route and missed my "sporty" Pulsare O/B....

Shortly after getting the ZT I was on the hammer and did not see a wake board boat across the river from me doing that stupid wake surfing crap.
I hit that wake at 60MPH and the Wife barely looked my way after. Life would have changed forever in the Pulsare.

Enough said.
