    Toughster LycSE

    This Special Edition model is not a mini but uses one of our hulls that we use on the mini's. It has a 150 HP Lyc 0-320 engine. It has 4 into 1 Tuned Headers, EIS Ign System with dual coil packs. Billit Heat Sink Valve Covers, EGT/CHT temp system, Special Marine Wiring, K&N Filter, Russell Hoses and AN Fittings, and finished off with a Water Walker Cypress 66 inch Carbon Prop. We will run it tomorrow and see what it does.

    Chuck,

    That's one very impressive unit, and just as soon as I win that darn lottery, I intend to get you to build me one just like it.

    Good luck with the test run

    Chuck,

    That's a PURTY little boat. Very Nice work, as usual.

    Now,all I have to do is win the lottery, then get in line.... Oh crap, I need to buy a lottery ticket first, don't I?

    Thanks buster and Duane, you don't have to hit the Lottery. Just call me and give me your wife's credit card #. I'am sure you will have to pay for it later.

    Chuck,

    I have a much better chance at winning the lottery than I have at getting away with that idea.

    Pam would kill me if I tried that, and then kill me again, just to be sure. Hey, that could activate a double indemnity clause for my life insurance. Nah, that's still no good. I'd be double dead, and she'd have a nice new airboat, with plenty of cash left over...

    I thing that we need a better plan....

    Let me think about it some.

    O.K., I've got us a plan.

    You go ahead and build me one of those super-duper boats, and deliver it. In turn, I can promise to pay you double your normal price, AFTER I win the lottery.

    It's a win - win situation. I get a NICE boat, you get paid double, and I have money left over from the lottery winnings.

    I'll give you a call to work out the details...

    Re: Toughster LycSE

    Wow, you guys sure are smart. Now, if i could just hit the Lottery, I would have enough money to build them.

    One night i had 5 dreams. Each time i dreamed of a great big # 5. My alarm went off at 5 oclock and i had it set for 10. I thought it might be some kind of omen or something. It was trying to tell me something. I went to the Horse Races and bet $ 500.00 dollars on the # 5 horse and SURE NUFF, he came in 5th.
    Good night, Chuck

    Chuck,
    Thats beautifull work as always. I liked your Buy or build article in airboat magazine also!
    One of these days I will total all my reciepts and find out the cost of mine. It scares me to do it though, Because I might find that it would of been cheeper to buy one.
    Thanks Bogger

    Bogger,

    I've kept all of my receipts. I've got a rough idea in my head, but I'm afraid to actually total them up.

    Sometimes it's better just not knowing....
