Default 26 American Offshore

I have never posted here before just trying it out. I have a 1997 AO that I have owned for serveral years now, not a better small cat out there in my eyes, it has a 500efi spinning a 30 pitch brove1, I have seen gps numbers in the low 90's in perfect water and temp. I built a 800 hp blower motor for it one summer and cracked the 100 plus mark, it was a lot of trouble, It has been a great boat with the 500 in it and is still farely fast.

I still need to learn how to do that on this forum. My big motor lasted for a summer then I sold it and did this stock motor but it was d-tuned with 6lbs of boost and 26 degree timming.

We have a housboat at Jamestown on Cumberland lake, and live in Louisville Ky. The cat is a 1997, Bob Taylor did the paint on the boat (flames) It has been alot of fun, I got with the interior guy last winter from AO and put new interior in, he still had the info on my Boat. This was the very boat that was shown in Hot Boats cover story that year.

I am at state dock. 1100 row. I see you running around every now and then. I also know Bob Taylor as well. He did some striping for me a while back.
