Just picked this bad boy up:

Test run on the Saginaw River (Zilwaukee bridge in background):



454 Mercruiser, Bravo 1 outdrive, 23 pitch SS prop, Bennett Trim Tabs. Hit 62 mph on my phone GPS app. Had issues with the trim tabs, turned out the plug loosened up. Probably will do 65+ with the right trim settings.

Love it. I need to see a shot of it sitting low and mean in the water.

Is it a closed bow?

Closed bow. The bow rider model is a 218.

No in the water pictures yet. I'm picking it up tomorrow at the dealership and it's been winterized and shrink wrapped for the winter.

I'm hoping it will really pizz the neighbors off when I fire up that big block with thru hull exhaust...

22ft of unapologetic America coming straight at ya!

Stress relief. I hope...
