Cool Boat! Dave W builds some sick power plants!
That is a nice looking boat, i see him quite often in the Clinton/Princeton area. I saw that boat at the tug fest and it had a bunch of young guys in it, maybe a son??
Do you have that baja pace boat with the tripples?Quote:

Yeah, he bought it out of NY (i think) it has 525s in it. I guess the guy that owned it before him owned a high end bodyshop and he did all the custom paint. Now it has wesco 700s in it and she is pretty healthy. the one cool thing is the engine hatch is not a pad like most slingshots. It has two scoops in it and is glassed and painted. really makes it look cool. and functional. I am the only other person to pilot that boat since he has owned it. he likes to stand on the beach and hear it go by. Now we are dealing with a blown dirve so i gotta get it out of storage and get the drive off of it and see the damage. was runnin those bravo 1 performance drives.Quote:

My boat does not really stand out like yours and the slingshot or that pace boat. Am i correct in saying that there are only three of those pace boats? and one is in our pool? Just wish he would hammer on it once.
You need a good beefed up set of XR's running behind that much power. I had one with Whippled 500efi's that ran mid 90's. There have been alot of other Slingshots with the fiberglass hatch just minus the scoops. Mine had the all flat padded hatch which was very rare. Only a few were built that way. This was mine.
That is a clean looking sling shot. I wish I could get a sling shot in my price range but not going to happen.

I just bought a new to me set of 34 bravo 1 props I need to try out when ever the river drops.
I go to "Go Fish" or "Its On The River" & then hang out around Prinston Beach on most weekends, I'm sure I will see you out.
Hmmm... Need a co-pilot?Quote:

I traded a 4-wheeler for it. i have been out 4 times this year and no hiccups so i think i am ok so far.
Mine is the stock bravo and my motor came off the dyno at 547. Drive has lasted so far two seasons.

yeah, a low horsepower engine wouldnt be optimal in a sport boat. plenty of torque.Quote:
