Range? Ummmmmm. Not sure. I'm guessing with 370 gallons it will make it 1/10 of the way to Hawaii figuring about 1mpg cruise speed.

When we left the harbor in Newport I was doing sixty beside you just as you launched it off a swell . It actualy lands real smooth and did not create a hugh wall of water on re-entry. Great Catalina boat .

Nort ,
I seem to remember a quote back in the uncensored section.

Looks aren't everything, plus she hated performance boating and wanted me to get a cruiser.
Does this mean these are coming back!!

P.S.

The wood veneer in the cabin seems to be birdseye maple.

As nice as the photos are - the real deal is all that much nicer! The paint came out awesome and the boat is definately a looker! The one thing I told Nort that needed changing was the anchor. It needs to be increased from holding 20,000 pounds to holding 120,000 pounds! We're going to use it as the first ever official SCOPE floating restaurant and bar! It will need to hold half a dozen offshore powerboats side tied on EACH side!! Why do you think I pushed so hard for him to buy it. Someone in SCOPE had to step up and who better than KING CHAOS himself??

I always remember beautiful women! ,
and I remember that one in particular not liking performance boating.


Your new girlfriend outshines your new boat!

As far as post 141 goes, I guess you worked a little harder!

Good luck with all!
