I haven't had it on a Dyno yet. I don't think there's a dyno anywhere near me. I can't wait for spring to get here though to find out what she'll actually do.

That is the Joker I owned before the guy in Bermuda bought it.

qaberdeen it looks great and that you are having come fun with it. I posted on screamandfly looking for it but I am glad it is going well for you. Here are some pics of the boat when I owned it and Art told me he would give me some more when he had it.

If this boat could talk....We had more fun in this boat than the average man could handle. 3 tank fulls on Saturday, 3 more on Sunday, a sunset cruise everyday and of course Full Moon Boating.

I expect you you had tons of fun in that boat. Here are a few I have previously scanned.

I have a bunch of snap shots from various races. Art has the large race shots in frames.

Was the boat in Ocean City MD I think I know that boat and saw it when I was younger.

Had tons of fun in the Joker. Its one of few boats that I would buy back becasue it was bullet proof. How do you know Art?

I grew up on the South River.
The red 30 would go to OC sometimes. It generally stayed on a lift at Oak Grove. Funny you say you would buy that 22 back. My friends and I wanted to buy it from you before you were willing to get rid of it. I am friends with Art and took care of the Joker while they raced it. I also was the one who put that red 22 together. The extra bulk heading, the transom plate and bars was my doing. I didn't want anyone to be able to break it. I could tell stories about those boat for hours.
