Catching up from the weekend...welcome! Very nice looking boat. Are you going to get a chance to use it before winter sets in, or gotta wait til spring?

Welcome from Texas BigUs. I would like to state right up front that I appear to be the only sane member of this forum with the exception of John the moderator (threw that in so the post will stay).

Thanks for the pics of a great boat.

You have been inhaling oil fumes your whole life I'm sure you are far from sane. Just being with this group makes you insane.:-)

Thank you! While a powerglide is a fine transmission, it has no place in a big block Corvette! ( Except maybe at the drag strip) It's set up with a close ratio 4 speed Muncie that has been built especially to compliment a solid lifter rat motor. Geared to Keep the RPMs right in sweet spot until you hit fourth and then she settles down and cruises. I like to drive my cars.

What sold me on this boat over the other 232s and 242s I looked at was the stereo upgrades. JL Audio 8" speakers everywhere and a huge amplifier. Bluetooth head unit, etc. I was surprised at the anemic sound of the factory stuff.

Looking forward to learning and contributing. My screen name comes not from my boat but my other Fiberglass toy - a 1965 Corvette with a big block 396 under the hood.

Ill try to post up some pics when I'm at my computer .
Hey pictures :-) someone took delivery of her baby.let's see the delivery :-)
