as SPYLIFE said, stay away from Atlanta and anything down town. ( No shit on bring a pistol ) Get in your rental car and head for the Lake and get settled in. The city of Alpharetta is about 30 minutes from Lake Lanier. Upscale restaurants and shopping. Two areas to consider. Downtown is very...
On my Schiada I did not have a gull set up. My plates were bowed up/pulled up in the center, like a delta pad. This allowed the boat to lift the bow easier and boat run free-er. Hope this helps.
I was a chevy/ GM guy for years. Then decide to try Dodge Ram. I have owned two 1500 limited with the Hemi engine and have not looked back. Great value and the quality is outstanding. Look at the cost of a new GM/Chevy truck and compare to a new RAM. The deference is about 10k.
Just came back a few weeks ago. Stayed at the Hermitage Hotel. Very nice. One Block away from Jeff Ruby's steak house. That was the best steak house we ever eat at. Have fun

there are many guys running the 72 that have 550hp with no issues. if you have more than that, or are thinking of big power down the road, switch to a turbo 400 and you will never have an issue.
Both my props were 2 blades that Harold built. 11 -1/2 x 16 and 11 - 3/8 x 16. the 11 1/2 was the better of the two for my needs.
I know Harold sold his prop business to a fellow out of the Clovis area and taught him the ropes. He may have some props that you could try. He is on face book...
a few questions to get a base line.
what prop are running today
why do you not like the prop you have today
what gears are in your v drive
what H/P are you running
I was in the same situation when I lived in Nor Cal and had to go to LHC for my family ski boat re do. I used Brain at Tank It. Worked out well for my needs.
Remove all hook or rocker so she lays flat. My guess on the cost will be $5,000 to $7,500 to do it right. Lots of grinding and filling depending on how bad your bottom is. Adding rocker is not needed if you have the correct set up. Correct gears, prop and strut angle will lift the bow under...
This is a great idea. Dave let me know how the bike box works out and then we can decide best approach. Even if we don't end up shipping the spoiler. The box will help protect it from any damage if someone is able to travel across country and drop the spoiler off in GA. Thanks for all the help...

A huge thank you to Dave for helping me on this project. I was in a bind and asked Dave for some help. ( longer story not to be shared on the internet) If someone is driving from the West Coast to the East Coast/Florida and can bring this spoiler to me in GA would be greatly appreciated...
