Great looking boat Stewart! That Illusion sure looks naked without speakers, doesn't it? Can't wait to see pics of the 8" Bullets. Keep em coming!

Congrats again. - John

I believe that there's no break in required on the 8.1L, BICBW. Looks good Stewart! What do you think of the 8.1L?

[tgaugh]

AWESOME!

I'm hoping that's the case. Who could I ask? Lots of bottom end. Only had it out .2 hours, long enough to make sure everything worked. We will officially be running it this weekend.

Check with your service guy, he should know for sure. Both the Hammerhead & 8.1L come from the same GM division, so I would think it would be the same.

What a BEAST!!

My book and my dealer said below 2 hrs 2K, 2 hrs below 3K, 4 hrs below 4 K all at variable speeds and THEN ROMP IT!!!!!

Stunning boat Stewart, congrats!!!!

As my late Grandmother would say,

"Use it in good health"

Very, very nice Stewart! I'm sure you'll love having all that power. Argh, Argh, Argh!

Stewart - how's the feeling after leaving the pump? I was just looking at the capacities on that thing - 87 gallons @ $3.40/gal = $295.80

I'm glad I only have to fill up 37 or so at a time.

Post up some pics of that beast in the water.

I don't know yet. The dealer put in $100 which put it just over 1/2 tank. We took it out and put almost 3 hours on it cruising it on Sunday and its says just below 1/2 Believe me, this summer I will be holding out my hand as passengers load the boat. Heck, that's why I got the Limo, it seats 16 passengers........ $295.80 / 16 = $18.65ea. Now that seems much more reasonable

I did post some H2O picks on page 7 of this thread.

When I filled mine up for the first time, it took 75 gallons for a grand total of $238. We ran it for 3.5 hours on the clock and it took a little over a 1/4 of a tank on the guage. I need to look at the tank and see how much is really in it.

Needless to say, I won't be spending much time on my boat over memorial weekend.....

I'm glad someone got to take advantage of Justin's deal, Stew. Too bad it wasn't Troy! LOL

I have a friend that has a shirt that says, "My boat runs on Gas not Thanks!" I would love to get one of those.

Ahem....don't you mean "our" boat?????

"My" can be a bad word in marital situations....

The kids on the playground can be sooo cruel....
