Mark - I'm not sure I ever showed you this before, this is a picture of your Top Gun when I owned it.

We had impeller problems all the way there and back. Just finished the replacements. The aluminum manifolds on the two stage Hardin pumps had corroded and let the impellers suck air. They don't make replacements anymore so we had to build some from stainless. Ready to go again now.

Going to run both boats to Sarasota this weekend, come on down With Ruckus. Be at Mar Vista for lunch tomorrow. Hopefully it warms up, today was cold, windy, 55 degrees. Supposed to be 72 and sunny, with no wind all weekend.

It obviously had enough to keep things cool for the 126 mile trip... There should be another 10-15mph there.... Like I said we are going 90mph with 280hp less and we are only around 3/4 throttle when we reach 90
