Boat guys, what's the winter upgrades?

The wife and I are trying to move back to Columbus and threads like this make me even more excited to get back home. I sold my big boat, but still have the Laser.

When we get back to Ohio, I hope to meet up with you guys on the water.

 

No winter plans, but spring plans will include fabbing up a back seat, putting in a different fuel tank, and complete rigging of the EFI motor. Also need to finish the back up motor. I'd like to swap out the 20" midsection for a 15", but that is not in the plans for this season.

As light as those things are, add another hitch to one of the trailers. Drop one in the water, take that trailer off, drop the other in the water - then party.

 

Edit: **Legal - but not worth it. Forgot to put I was kidding.**

 

I think I may have seen this boat at Total Marine Performance once...

God damn that motor is sexy!!!!!!!!

 

Fuck a back seat put some subs in that thing so its got more weight lil more stable when you put a fuel injected 300 motor on it=)

 

SPT boats are awsome as fuck!

 

This is my old boat, It was beat as all hell when I got it now its a lil better. Paul posted a pic of it when it was ugly, Now she looks a little better.

Motor that came with it was a 90hpo\ Evinrude, It was blown up. Put a older late 70's 115 Johnson and a electrical trim plate on it my self then did all new electrical work/wiring plus new controls. It was my first build on boat done completely by myself. I Learned that the best day in a boaters life is the day that he buys a boat and the day he sells the boat =)

It has a fuel injected 240hp Bridgeport on it right now. Have not ran it yet. Should run 100, or a low 12 sec 1/4 mile with a good prop.

 

Your boat looks awesome. Those V4 JohnRudes can be made to run damn good. The limiting factor is always the hull...but that can be modified too. The V4 with a relieved exhaust has the most unique sound ever. Are some of those pics from Lake Cumberland?

 

And you said it right about the two best days in a boaters life. I was bummed to see my Skater getting hauled away, but happy to know I no longer had to work on two motors, fill two 60 gallon gas tanks with 93 octane+Klotz, etc, etc, etc......

 

I keep ignoring the wife when she mentions selling the little boat.
