        While triple digits might be possible with this hull, my experience is it gets real sketchy over 90 mph. The boat ran so well in the 80s during testing that I decided to fix her up and slow her down a bit.
        New Lehner 2250s arrived by way of KBB...




        I also switched out the controllers to help limit some of the financial risk over the MGMs. These new KBB spec SF300s are pretty cool. Much lighter and "builder friendly" over the other style with the aluminum case. Two for this boat and two for my Mystic 114.

          You know taking pictures of parts doesn't count as "working" on boats... .. right?

                You going to be able to make 'one' a priority in there Joel? Once you get going on one it'll all fall into place;-)

                  The Sniper is the priority. Just been unmotivated lately. Probably the -20° weather....

                    I know how you feel Joel. Sometimes ya just need a break from something I think.
                    Plus the weather...

                        LOL. Terry I was the same way for a while. Getting discouraged at the SAW events due to the weather also hasn't helped my enthusiasm. Hopefully we can make some changes here soon to help with that. Starting with another location and t-shirt friendly temperatures.

                          Yeah, I gotta say........thread lake sucks. Drop that pond most anywhere else and it would be great. A mid July date would help too. Crap weather and the snail pace up there makes it tough.

                            Atta boy, let's see that one come back with a vengeance! All scarred up and everything.
                            Don't worry, spring will break soon enough,. It'd be good to have something good to go.
