+1...you are so right my grasshopper.

Im not debating that a pair of supercharged big blocks would need as much fuel as triples to go the same speed.

Ragged Edge:

I have owned a 32 fountain without rotted stringers. Do some research on this era fountain-they had issues with stringer rot from non treated materials being used. That's the main reason you would want a good surveyor to look at the boat.

And you get a fricking life a##wipe if I didn't have the means to buy and run the boat I wouldn't be posting about it.
