END OF RIVERMANS AD.
Additionally; the gearcase has been checked and now has new seals, the trailer has been repainted and looks really nice.
The two bucket seats now have upholstered bottoms.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE POWERHEAD WAS TOTALLY DISMANTLED LAST WINTER AND THE BLOCK WAS STRAIGHTENED. THE ENGINE HAS 2 HOURS OF BRAKE IN TIME ON THE NEW PISTONS AND RINGS. ALL WORK WAS DONE BY TED AT SPEEDMASTER MARINE. HE ALSO DID SOME EXHAUST WORK.
The engine is incredibly strong. Runs perfect. Boat would run low 80's prior to TED performing his magic. I will get some pics to post or if you wish i can send them email. My email is
