The boat "COPE" is a 25' Talon. I think it was the first inboard one made.

Howard purchased the boat at a boat show from Gary Armington (sp) and sold it to Newton Cope.

Used a Eicket fuel injected 572 and made a whopping 680 hp back then. 112 mph with a ASD6 drive. Still remember those Kinsler injection tubes. Trick looking things back then.

Living in a dream, looking for someone else to engineer it for him so that he can have it made for nothing in Asia and then ask everyone else why it does not work.

Same as he was 5 years ago when he started his project, and he will be in the same place 5 years from now when life passes him by.
