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??

There is a Video on this page of a Superhawk 48 (very similar too Nort's rig) jumping around a bit, impressive.

If you need a throttle man to run your new Apache let me know, I will be more than happy to make it fly.
My kind of boat

Yes, it is I. The only part of the boat that was still in the water were the drives. Both Trevor and I were laughing our a$$ off and could not believe you got that much boat out of the water.
That boat looks a lot newer than it is and the sound of the triple engines sure gets some surprised looks on the faces of people around the dock.
