X-Shark in the water

[warthog5]

Just a phone call and my buddies come running.[] hammertime and Dr. Bobby Show's came to give me a hand. Thank's Much. I had Jimmy tow the boat on the old trailer to the ramp while I followed with the new trailer. Jimmy has a F-350 4WD single wheel's [not a dually] the old trailer had "0" toung weight. That's why I want him to tow it with a heavier truck. It was not a problem and I never saw it sway. I also wanted to see how my truck would pull the boat out of the water. '94 F-150 2WD 351W and 3:08 gear's [no limited slip] It came up out of the water just fine.

The 4 wheel brake's on the trailer really work. You don't even feel it pushing on the truck. We had an elderly man and his wife hanging with us at the ramp the whole time. She said that the prettiest boat that has been at this ramp in a Loooooog time.[(#)]

They apparantly live right there by the ramp?

I'm pleased with the dicission to get the largest tub/body on the bracket. She look's like it's floating well. There is still more to discover, but I'm very pleased so far.[]

Great looking boat. I bet you must feel really good about now. How much fuel do you have in the boat now? Can't wait to hear some performance numbers. Dink

HeHe None yet. 90gal will add aprox. 550lbs

Wart - Looks like a brand new boat!!! There plenty of floatation in the bracket for those suzuki's too. You probably already did this . . . but make sure you clean out the inside of the fuel tank before you fill it up. I never did and I'm still filtering metal shavings out from the new 70 gallon (after running 125 gallons of fuel through).

Looks very nice on the water line.

That boat is SMOKIN'! What props did you go with on those 140's? (I get 5950 to 6k rpm's out of my 23" props with my 115's)

[warthog5]

right now they have 14X18's on them. that was the prop's on them when Glisher Bay mounted them on a 26ftr from the factory.

They have 10hrs on them.
