i think that record (copeland) was set in wyondott mich, ther held a kilo run at the portside rest. "henery" please confirm.

satisfaction turned to popeyes they added extention boxes which added the mesh on the eng. hatches, copeland sold it to stiletto( he also sold them the cig that was in the accident) why it went slower, the father and son were on the large side,they were a nice family, but never pushed it past 1/2 throttle . 7x i think im close????

That's exactly how I recall it. The Stilletto guys ( The Cervani's) were relatives of Copeland so that was the connection. Al needed the hull as I recall to bridge the gap between his outboard Maelstrom and his later 50 footer.

The Cervani's were certainly not "built for speed".
