haha. yeah their on there. its been over three weeks. i'm so anxious to drive her. i made a comment to a friend that as soon as i bleed the brakes tomorrow i plan on finding out what my new limit is. my girlfriend gets pissed and says "if you want to put your whole life savings into your truck fine. then don't ever ask to borrow my car the next time your truck brakes!"

there's some things women just DON'T understand...

Have a safe trip to Bimini, hopefully your going with some other boats too. Check out www.a1aweather.com thats what we always use before we head offshore, what ramp are you leaving from?

sorry for the teases. i hate them as much as you all do. i have to wait til my brother is done editing it. i've kinda been avoiding the forums because of all the ""



i'm going on my g/f's step dad's 33' palmetto custom. we're leaving out of palm beach with the 7th Annual Bluewater Bahamian Rendezvous. about 25-30 boats last i heard making the trip together to treasure cay.

i'll have my brother post the video when he's done with it while i'm gone.

haha. this front was a big enough headache. as soon as my buddy gets settled into his new pad and his dads "garage/tools" are open for my use, i'll try and get it in. with the research i did, i'll be surprised if i can get it to fit w/ the 4.56, most sites say the locker won't fit with anything higher then 4.10
