That's awesome. I always wonder what it would be like to have a heater on those October/May trips when I can't convince anyone to go with me.
Yes...and who would have thought the Las Vegas original owner who purchased originally at Gerry's marine in Las Vegas (the dealer who knows the boat history and doing our add on's) would have that rare cockpit heat option.
In fact they can't sell Cuddys in Nevada because they are like ovens in the summer time!
Hadn't even thought of that. hilarious.

Do you handle prop repair in addition to the financial planning profession?
Or did you have extras on hand? Dealer cost?
Those duo prop puppies are expensive. Would be nice to know options down the road if I ever need another pair.
Btw, you can see the LED drain plug light upgrade. You guys sold me on blue.

Sorry I'm catching up. Yea liquid I might need some of your prop help.

Yes we hit over the 4th I didn't notice much but if you turn them over you could see both props got folded over. Maybe once there fixed I'll gain some speed on my MasterCraft.lol

At least it sounds like a mild bend and no skeg or outdrive damage.
When mine hit back in '08, I had to have the outdrive X-rayed! Thank god for insurance.

BB, a chapterplotter and a couple of holes is cheap insurance.

When I had my "grounding from hell", I should have known too.
It was the shallowest the lake had ever been and I was nose high slowly ploughing thru the water at 10 mph as the kids jumped from tube to tube in a place called MISERY bay!
I can still hear those props wrapping around that rebar.

Our last hit was when my Wife was pulling me skiing in 2008 with the Donzi I heard it hit 75feet back on vac. And my son that didn't like having to share the new wife yells at the top of his lungs dad Shannon hit rocks. I go I know I heard it thanks. This was the year.lol

I bet that sound was sickening.
...and Very cool donzi BB. I see the drive shower. Knowing your username, I'm gonna guess 7.4 Merc? or 454 mag? Although I don't see thru hull exhaust. Hmmm
Btw, if you say you owned a Fountain in your past, you are definitely my stunt double.

No fuel injected. Throttle body not multi port like today's mags.
Yes stepped hull. You hit 50 she would pick up and go smooth as silk.
