Mounted the new MB35 CDI on an Uncle J's Custom Bateau. I'm still waiting for the paint to dry thoroughly. This boat came out much better than I expected. The paint color matches the powder coat on the motor perfectly. I'll post up some speeds and ride info next week sometime.

Nice work Uncle J, and congrats rebbeer.

Looks good man.I gotta get mine painted for sure now. Yours looks awesome.Post up some speeds soon as you can.

That is a nice looking rig!

Turned out really nice.... Dont get on the Sizzurp and run it into a tree first thing..

Glad you like it. What about some speeds?

I'll have some speeds after this weekend.

Yeah hurry up and post some speeds.Cause if you don't Uncle J will keep bugging you about.

Good lookin boat J . . . any words on speeds? . . . besides that it kills!?

Robbie, what was te speeds you got?

Shadow,
I had a post under boat reviews from when I first got the boat. The speeds posted were with a pretty light load, and it ran around 31 max, and a constant 28-29.

This weekend I finally got to put a pretty decent load in it, and all I can say is wow! I was very impressed. It was me (240+), brother-in-law(200), 2 kids(100# combined), 1 ice chest filled to the rim with beer and ice(estimated 75#), and misc. fishing gear. I did not have a gps, but this thing jumped on step. I would guess we were doing 25mph or better.

We got in a few shallow spots and the rig performed perfectly. I know not everyone on here is mudbuddy friendly, but the 35hp CDI has awesome low end torque. I was really impressed with the overall performance.

My brother-in-law has run gd longtails all his life and even had a big 35hp longtail. But he had neber ridden in a sd set up before and he was highly impressed as well.

Here are the results of our little trip to Rockefeller

Please:

No snide remarks about the Milwaulkees Best can in the icechest on the last pic.

and for reference: this is a 120 qt ice chest.

Nice fish man. Looks like a good time.

Wow nice. Boat and ice chest. . . . ice chest probably doesn't look as good empty though.

Just to clarify, there was another ice chest full of beer. This one was for crabs, fish, and empty cans. LOL.

Can you hydroturf over some of the checker plate and will it stick like it would on a flat surface, my gut is saying no, but just wanted to see, the checker plate looks bdass.
