Sean,

Sound like someone is taking this speed topic seriously. You did a great job on the 28' and your 35'.

LOL...I never lie about speeds... In fact, everyone at the shop had a pool going regarding the speeds when the boat was finished...I lost! I said it would do 65

Thanks for the compliments Andy...

I finished my 16 Superboat center console this winter and ran it 2 weekends ago...
Now I've got to get going on the 16 Donzi and the 20 Cigarette...

but first...time to use the 35...all work and no play...

I'll post some pics as soon as I get the 35 out of the barn...with those new 496s it may not be the fastest, but at least i aint sittin at the dock...

enough about me...what have you been working on lately... fill us in!
