I know the boat well. Gary went by us one time on the way to key west so fast and loud that it scared the chit right out of the guys in my boat!
We thought air station key west had pilots practicing low level strafing runs in f-14 tomcats. 
That will be a runner for sure. I hope you have better luck with the motors than Gary. He had occaisional breakdowns. NK

Work Work Work There just simply is not enough hours in the day or days in the week.
JM I am finishing my first roll of pictures for posting next week. Fit a motor today and with three of us on it full time the next 4 weeks will be critical for a 16th of oct launch. Thank god JD did all the r&d already so I don't have too! ( even if I go 10 mph's less )

1 hour photo?
The pictures I took in last week were 1 day that came in in 3 so now I'm getting 1 hour and I will have them tommorrow (?) It's almost like we live in Ohio around here sometimes. Very backwards if you know what I mean.
I told the saber boys today we have to be ready in 4 weeks and I think Jim is just reviving now.
Doug was heard to mumble "well"
I have begun recriuting friends to help and so far I've scored two. The amount of gas I will spend on makeup rides will far exceed just hiring more guys but these guys will care more since it's their safety too.

BTW I noticed this thread has over 100 posts now. Isn't that about four times as many posts as Saber has made boats?
