Good luck on the puchase of the boat! We knew it wouldn't be for sale for very long.

I stood back and watched for 6 whole days after I found out, couldn't stand it any longer. Some one was going to.....then all the shoulda coulda, kick myself for not stuff. I couldn't get those huge bulkheads out my mind, let alone the 6s, ballast tanks and the industrial nature of that boat.

We know Dietz and have seen the boat numerous times. It's certainly is a fitting name for the boat!

We have a good friend here in Mentor that wants her badly. Hopefully you can make some trips down here near Cleveland to join us on a poker run when you're done with her.

Nykamp, I would love to hear about WW from you. Your input will help alot. I am getting some quotes on rebuilds, and thinking over the many options of detuning. More questions on how to drive this boat, with transfering ballast tanks, 6s on boxes, blower motors....etc. I'm sure it's a completely different story than what I know. I'll keep all posted on the progress of the deal. Nykamp, CJ at the Wharf has my
number. Thanks
Dan,
Nykamp could probably get you in touch with Jim. He will tell you how and why the boat is rigged. He is a great guy to talk to. He made allot of decisions on how it was rigged.

Chief, it sounds good. If all goes well she should be in the water mid July. Your friend in Mentor....can't have it

J-Bonz, ya I'll be calling Nykamp sometime next week. Only two things I want to change, 6 pk may turn into a 5 pk. And it's kinda hard to find race fuel everywhere so we'll have to turn it down a little.
