Got out today again, very light boat. My viper feels better at 90 than this one at 75! Some tweaks and out tomorrow again in the morning

The seats look amazing! Did you buy them that way or did you have them recovered?

Came with the boat. Got out again this morning. 78.8 mph. Really working on the balance of the boat. Thanks to Geoff for the little vid!

Love the seats. Wish I knew someone that wanted a upholstery side job or did good work on the cheap so I could get my original ones redone. Been getting quotes for like $500 a piece for simple while with black piping and even then they dont seem to interested in the job. LoL

The video looks awesome! Makes me a bit jealous. We both been at our projects far far too long. So glad to see you get that on the water. I'll be next for sure. Im going slow but its better than nothing. Been having a bunch of work stuff slowing me way down but I'll make things happen.

Just get out there for an hour a night. That's what I did but once ya start going ya stay for 2 or 4. But 20 minutes of work is better than no work on the boat!
