Here are some pictures of our day a t Lake Pleasant in our "new" boat. It was about 112 degrees out - lots of sunscreen and many dips in the water made it alright - and when the boat was moving it was all good. And no, I didn't get a chance to get any video - SORRY! Maybe next time.

That is a gorgeous Liberator! Did you do a "flat out" run? How fast did it go? |

112 Degrees? One word: Bimini! Beautiful boat. |

Yes, I need a bimini !! I have the camper top that goes all the way to the windshield and that's probably great for bad weather but not so good for the heat. Does anyone know if I can get one made to fit my existing frame or do I need a new frame to get a bimini? |

Ohhhh. Man that looks angry and ready to lash out at the first one to p!$$ it off! Nice . . . You should get a decal for the bow like the mouth with teeth on the old spitfires - it would fit in perfect with the white bezels arount the docking lights! |

Does anyone know if I can get one made to fit my existing frame or do I need a new frame to get a bimini? I know on my boat (different boat, different year) the camper canvas is made up of side curtains, front connector, etc which zip on to my current bimini. Is yours all one piece? If so, maybe ask an upholstery shop if they can make something to fit your frame? |

EvilZ, I have the side curtains, but the front and top is all one piece and attaches to the front windshield. I think saomething could be designed to fit the original frame, and would think someone has done it before. BTW ht32, I didn't do the flat out speed trial - I pushed it to 45mph and it seems to me I was at, or a little above half throttle - I think was told by the previous owner it'll do 65 with the current props and closer to 70 if I change the props. 45 was pretty fast - and the hull rides SO SMOOTH! Amazing (especially compared to my 63 flattie haha). Next time I'll push it harder, didn't want to scare the "Admiral" on the first outing, (or break anything)...this was a shake down cruise. Hmmm Blessed, the sharks teeth would fit. Scott |
