T-750. With a Merc 60 EFI FormulaRace, which just arrived at City Marine here in Port Credit. Will be interesting to see how this all works out. No matter what, looking forward to Waterford!

Great to have the motor here! DOC, Tom will be needing some props to test . We have some test props for him. The smallest diameter is 11 3/4. If you still had that 11 X 22 thru hub for sale, it would be a prop worth testing. Thanks

Tried to post a couple of photos [ < 275 kb ], but keep getting message...
"Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."
Not sure what that means.

Hi Tom. Try photobucket.com or a photo sharing site like that. Upload your photo and just copy and paste the link here.

OK, giving photobucket a shot, here's the link...

Seems to work.

Anyway, boat looks pretty good from 10' away. Up close, you can tell its a 20 year old boat that has been around a block a few times, but that's OK. Was in touch with Jeff Baker in Minnesota who was responsible for building it in 1996 in Florida, and Ron Hill in California who says he raced it with a 4 stroke 50 hp Merc at 62 mph with a 22.5 pitch cleaver around 1996/97. Jeff sent a few props to try out -- once the ice is out. He mentioned this was boat # 4 of 4, one of two with the side transom reinforcing [a good thing, apparently]. The other three boats were white/red/powder blue. This 4th one was blue with white stripe, so still the case [the #4 is scratched on the transom, upper right]. According to Jeff, hull weight at the time was ~ 300 lbs. Next step is to take it over to Dave Sullivan at City Marine to get the motor installed.

Tom

Everything is looking really good. That's what that boat needed. I see you lightened it up a little more too. You're going to love that boat. It rides so nice! Did you do all the work on it?
