you would look good in a 39 twin 1100 merc turbos, bet it will be faster than 68.how long would a 39 take to build? what would you power it with , colors? hope the sonic sells fast. Art

thats cool, what power would you want in a 39? Gerry could rig turbines for what 1100 1300 mercs cost. may be less. for mild power maybe v10s 725s with there new drive.or go with a gellner 750 hp na built with the regular konrad hp,no box. thats working great on Jays 38tg. and would be a cheap combo. local builders jim ried or tom couglin. both could build 600 and up na stuff. I been happy with my 650hp Ried motor in the ol24. keep in touch spring is near.

I have just one question.... how come everybody post that their boats go 500mph... but when I get involved 60 is my limit... I still cannot get it unless boating is like golf.... everyone is a pro until you play them.....
