Thank you

I wonder what the market would be for a 29OL with a single HP500 or SC600?
Although this may not be a 70mph Baja, many are not that concerned about top speed, and the reduced maintenance and upkeep might be appealing.

Another thought is that that may be a lot of HP on a heavy boat on a single Bravo drive. There went your reliability.
I guess what I am trying to say is that a single engine in a 29 Outlaw is like a v-6 in a camaro. Sure you look good, but the chicks don't dig it.

Doc,
I will have to go into the archives and see what I can come up with. I a gave the brochure and Powerboat Magazine to broker when we were selling it. We change out all our pics at the house. I will attach a pic of our new logo for our poker run t-shirts
