    Switch came in the other day so I installed it an took it out today.

Found this out by disconnecting the throttle cable at the...

I got the boat home an found that it wouldn't fit in my shop, because the radar stuck up to high. Was thinking about moving the radar to the front of the...

And yes I have the proper tow vehicle. I was thinking of getting a cat also so...

    thanks for the reply skunkboat, as far as ride goes versus my classic I would assume it wont be quite as soft because of the shallower dead rise but would the 265 be more friendly at a drift or trolling. The Carolina like to rock and roll a lot!
