Did they say if the new shaft was upgraded? If not, then what assurances are there of it not repeating?

I dont believe it is an upgraded part. Same P/N listed in the merc diagrams. Seems like they are happy to replace it if it breaks so as long as its under warranty I'll continue to use factory parts.

Damn...
More rain. I want to boat. I could care less that it’s the Super Bowl. I’d rather wax the Cougar.

Prop maker and specs please. :eek:

In the photo is a BBLADES 14.5 x 32 4 blade blaster...overall great blade. Still has a good hole shot, and it’s the 2nd fastest wheel I’ve ever run on the Cougar. 117 mph ...
A modified 32 3 blade Hoss , of Wild Bills stainless collection, pulled the 122.44 mph best ever.

I'll store it for free if someone wants to come check out Tennessee :D

It's hard to believe that this is the same Randy I new about 16 years ago. I attended an Allison boat rally in Tn. Randy was there with a yellow, white, and black STV and was giving rides in his boat. A friend of mine went for a ride at 121 mph. I came home and called him and made a trade with him for his STV and he built a motor for it and brought it to me. My dealings with him were good. Its hard for me to believe this is the same Randy that I dealt with. My heart goes out to his family. I have heard rumors about him , but never expected this.

Getting our "new" Delta camper cleaned up. She will be named Dog House. Has a 50hp Nissan & should run out to 8 maybe 10mph depending on current. Has 3 beds, full bathroom with shower, fridge, microwave, stove, & generator. F14 & I are very excited to get her wet. Just ordered a new steering cable, fuel pump & a few other goodies.

Whens the maiden voyage? Looks like a great place for waterfront cocktail parties.

Figures, another West Coast center pod boat!:D

Seriously though, enjoy it, looks like a blast. Maybe there’s an upgrade to a 25 HP Bigfoot?:)

F14 & I were just talking about a bigger motor. Gonna talk to the manufacturer in Tennessee about it & see what the actual cruise speeds are with a lil more power. It would be nice to cruise somewhere in the teens but honestly who cares. F14 said 1 motor behind each sponson & lose the center pod.:D At that point, why not triples?;)

Triple formula 60's sound pretty nice...
