Looks like you all had a good time at AOTH from the looks of the shots. I've mentioned to Scott Boldt about a mini-fall trip down there. If anyone's interested, it's really good down there in Sept.
Anyway, my question: What's the weight on a 16 Ski Sporter? As mine is being re-enforced and put back together, I want to keep the weight somewhere close to original if possible, but I have no brochures or info to tell me.
Also, with the Volvo 250 and a 342(bored-out 302) putting out approx 260-280 PSH what can I look for in the speed dept? I've read some of you all's speeds in other posts, and I'm curious as to your take on mine.
I'm not sure about the prop. Scott, maybe you remember what Jerry had on there. I gave my mechanic all your prop suggestions that you guys gave me earlier on. We'll test it with the prop that's there, and try others if necessary.
I'm way excited about this and my son's boat. My payment book will be as thick as a dictionary, but you know what? That's okay for boats like these.
Thanks, Bill
