You got to be shi#ing me!!! Carpe Diem is Smokin'?? My friend that I raced with owned that boat for years. It use to have Valako 540's in it and TRS's. I might add it was a little rough... That might be the make over of the century!

When I met you in GH years ago and if you would have told me that boat was Smokin' I probably would have had a heart attack.
Todd owned it probably 1999-2005ish. It had 540's and TRS's. Would run mid/high 70's and break a drive every couple of trips out. It was always driven hard! That was the first boat I had ever been on in true 4'-6' waves and I couldn't believe how it ran. I believe it went towards Chicago/Milwaukee area. The 540's were pulled and and sold to a guy with a beautiful red gelcoat 9 meter Fountain. He brought the engines back to Jim I believe to get rebuilt. I remember one day I was putting hydraulic steering on my Panther and the guy was putting amps in the Fountain. I looked down the side of the hull and there were 8 2" drywall screw out the side of the hull. I just shook my head. Smokin' was brought to a couple of the races in GH, St Clair and Ohio for pleasure boating. I'll try to get my old computer fired up and see if I can pull some old pics of Smokin' off of it.
Here is a pic along side my Panther when I was redoing the upholstery. Probably 2002

Ok I gotta ask what year is that boat? It looks pretty new to me. If its a 99 then you've obviously given that boat lots of love.
