I just went outside and took these. I compressed them in Photoshop and resized them in Photobucket after I uploaded them to their site.

Boats cool, but just look at the faces on those 3 kids!!!

Dad's quite the hero for getting them this rig for sure . . .

A lifetime of memories await.

Congrats

Re: Which Outboard - Merc or Suzuki

The only thing I would like to see different about this rig is the actual speed increase to 40ish. I posted a question in the Prop forum and if somone runs into it here it would be great.

I would just like to know; since the STD prop that comes with it is Alum, if I move to a different prop if it would increase my speed from 34-35ish to 40ish.
The boat comes out of the hole quick and easy and I'm wondering if I move to a different prop could I gain another 5ish mph out of it.
It wouldn't both me to lose a littlr bit of the hole shot since there really insnt one anyway.
I would like to replace the Alum STD prop with a SS one anyways and keep the SD one in the boat incase something happens.

Generally going to stainless will improve performance but we need to know present prop size and the present max rpm and speed.
