And my Mach 1 will do about 62 when the water is calm with just me an my dad, and with a couple people it will do about 50-55, i need to fix the speed thing on the rear of the boat, my nephew was trying to get back in after swimming, and he didn't use the dam ladder, and accidentally broke the plastic speed sensor. But yeah its a great boat, we haul tubes, and i wake board a little bit. Im getting better. haha i dont fall, but i do take jumps, and stuff. its fun.
i dont go to the marina i just go to the exxon or shell here that has 0% ethanol
at walmart i get the Pennzoil marine oil for 13$ a gallon and just throw it in
13$ of it treats 50 gallons of gas

the bombarder is pretty nice, ive only been on the 2 strokes ive never rode the turbo 4 strokes, but the yamaha one has a 1800cc motor and pushes over 200hp.. its SICK

They only offered the "Off Road Edition" from 2000-2001. JFYI.

Cheapest is gonna be a body lift. You can get a few inches there. You can add spacers up front and get another couple of inches. Or you can do a full suspension lift to get 3 to 5 (I think there's an 8 now) but those are going to be more. You can put diesel coils in the front for lift too. It all depends on how high you want to go and what size tire you're gonna run. You don't want 6" of lift with 33s. It'll look silly. And since it is a 1500 you don't want to go over 35's more than likely. Once you get to 35s though you're gonna want to do gears.

so i can do a 3" body lift with all factory stuff and then get a leveling kit and add to springs or 2500 springs, then i can add a leaf or add a block to the rear

3" body now on 33's and then when i get 35's get the 3" spacers and block/leaf

so itll be in the end 8 inches higher in the end with 3" and 3" and 2" of tire?
