Boat had #3 on it, now has #5 and close to being done with the PSI build. Thanks Bob

Bob's boat looks sterilized in person , new paint , interior , gauges , rigging and motors . Plus anything else you can think of , using only the highest quality parts . That just begins to discribe it , and dosen't do it justice .

I recently went 104mph in my 41' with procharged 540's. I know not the fastest on this thread but I was extremely happy with that number.

Well back then it didn't have a interior or a cabin. I have a lot of seat time in that boat. We ran a few pokers runs with it when Scott and Bob were not racing it. I throttled it and mike from Halls prop. drove. What a blast! I still have that prop. we ran.

I wonder why they changed it over to right hand? It runs great now and handles well..so I will leave well enough alone.
