Pictures of my Resored '75

[CMBarnes]

I have had her up to 60 mph but think with proper trim on a flat day I could get another 3-5 mph out of her. I added another fuel tank in the storage area right in front of my console door. All together she holds right around 180 gallons. Stainless Marine made the bracket. It was on the boat when I bought it. If I was to buy new I would get a Hermco...she does sit heavy. I have to plug the deck drains. Before my additions of the T-top, baitwell and everything else she was barely self-bailing but right now she's not close ( 1-2 inches below the water line). This makes me nervous but the boat never stays in the water over night and there are two 2000 gph bilge pumps on different floats switches rigged directly to different batteries that each have their own hoses spitting out on either side of the hull. I have ordered new trim tab blades. I had 12x9's and am going to replace those with 12x12's (Thanks Tabman for the advice). I think this will make the boat more responsive and help keep the bow down a little better. On Sunday, I ran offshore and traveled about 180 miles total ( I have yet to fill her back up and calibrate the flowscan but I figure I burned 120-130 gallons)...it was 3 to 4 and pretty stacked up. I think with the new tabs it would have been a litte nicer ride but overall I am very happy and love the boat. We kept 4 nice dolphin and even passed a much larger center console on the way in [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Keep the Question coming!!! I love when people stare as I ride past and when people ask "What kind of boat is that?"
I love these boats!!
