Picked up a new to me boat

Well since this is the 3rd time I have had an issue with jet style boats, I got sick of them. My seadoo is being fixed and the insurance company did cover it, thank god. But this whole summer I have been watching craigslist everyday and finally stumble across a diamond in the rough. I found a guy who lived right down the road from me in pataskala. He works at a body shop and has not had the time to take this thing out at all. It was well maintained from what I can tell. It has a stock 350 motor, 270hp with a thru hall exhaust. It sounds mean. :cool: Top speed is 55mph which is slower then the seadoo but it will ride 10x better as it is a deep v hall. It has the alpha one outdrive.:cry: but that will do for now. Its a 22 ft with a cuddy which I wanted. It needs a wax job, and interior cleaning. No biggie to me at all. The only issue with it is it needs a front windshield which will be fixed tomorrow. The old one cracked and he pulled it out and never got to replacing it. Like I said a piece of lexan and some tint and its fixed. The plan is to put a kick ass stereo in it and run it the way it is the rest of the year. Then this winter, hopefully drop in a lsx style motor with better heads and alil more cam. It will need a paint job on the trailer and the original tire and wheel put back on as one of them blew out. Anyway my camera is broke so this is the only pic I got with my BB.

I should be out this wednesday night at alum. :D

 

Also I sold my seadoo to my sister and her boyfriend and I only paid 2700$ for this one. So I have very little in it. :cool:

Me and my boys did a full clean up of the boat. we waxed it down from top to bottom. It cleaned up really nice. Fixed a few small things and added a sub in the rear for some bumps. I need to get a few more subs as 1 12 inch is not enough. This weekend we are gonna tackle the front window. We also changed all the plugs and a few other things. We will be at alum tomorrow night at 6 to see how it runs. I am hoping it runs good on the water and doesnt have any issues.
