Please forgive, I have no idea what an LFA is. The color is New Indy Yellow which is a Honda color.

Think Ron's is a lil more 'orangy' than 'yellowy' ...?

No offense ...

dorelse · « **Reply #26 on:** April 14, 2016, 08:56:09 PM »

Yeah, I like Ron's color choice better!

Rdewick · « **Reply #27 on:** April 14, 2016, 09:27:13 PM »

Have to be honest, I settled on a yellow and creme white combo because I wanted a bright color that would mot get hot in the florida sun. My cousin picked that yellow and the white. Here is a closeup with a light so you cam see the pearl. Should be pretty showy in the sun.

Suweet! Which prop did ya go with?

Hyperacme · « **Reply #33 on:** April 16, 2016, 06:40:52 PM »

150 HO ... That sucker should move ...

Rdewick · « **Reply #34 on:** April 16, 2016, 06:59:36 PM »

Etec 150 HO, mo prop yet. Going to try a few. I am going to start with a Raker 28 Inch pitch.

Nice looking rig!

David CVX-16 · « **Reply #36 on:** April 16, 2016, 09:50:40 PM »

Might try a SRX 27".

Fuzzbutt's friend put a 150HO Evinrude E-Tec on a CVX-16 with a 3" setback and runs 63 MPH GPS. Sounds like there is more top end to be had.

There better be. I don't think Ron'll be too pleased if I can still smoke him with the Baja ...

Hey btw I looked up "Osborn", looky what I found: Note the difference in that dash from mine. That looks to be an exact copy.

Rdewick · « **Reply #39 on:** April 18, 2016, 06:09:08 AM »

I would say you have an Osborne. It looked so similar to the one I had in the early 80's. Got the rub rail on, used the screwdriver gimmick you suggested.
