Charlie,
Just curious why not put triple power with today's motors? Why only two, what would be the speed increase with triples?

The boat below I throttled with triple Keith Eickert's, but with older technology. This boat of Johns with the new Sterlings had as much punch and get up and go as the triples did.....it was a very impressive ride. Just shows you how much technology has helped high perfomance boating advance over the years.

Good question. Estimate of speed with triples could be anywhere up to 130 or more....depending on props, engines etc etc.

Whatever you would add to this boat would only make it better....BUT, it is already that now.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. It may not be the fastest on top end....at least until the whitecaps start kicking up.

no need to add to the package ..........john did it all!

John, i have heard some rumors flying around.

Will you consider making a appearance at the fall River Poker
run in August. I'm confident that whatever you bring will be a show stopper.

Its a great run Hope you can make it.
