Myself, BigAndy, Creed aka SPF:100, Kevin G aka Spik1, Tom R. aka Boatman22, so far the list is still growing:cool::ernaehrung004:

We have 5 or 6 of our Topps group going and then I am guessing another 5 or so other Topps members. Should be a good bunch. Where are you guys staying? We are staying at a place called Pirate's Bay condo and marina in Ft. Walton Beach. We are going down for the whole week, Sat. 9th and leaving Monday after Crab Island. Does anyone need a slip?

Boatman22 got us a house with 6 boatslips, I think we are covered...:ernaehrung004:

What was really the reason Fountain made these tanks?? Is it for the top end test runs (emptying the main tanks allowing for a center of gravity further back for more speed)? Is it only the 42s that have these tanks???

I am thinking about yanking mine out along with the transfer pumps and all hardware. Has anyone done this? Seems to be a good way to ditch <500#'s and allow more room

Why is it only the 42s that have the saddle tanks? What i the real intention with them?

From what I have heard this model was built for the military and used this for longer ranges??? Duno, but really thinking of pullin these out...

I want to do the same thing. I had no problem running the entire long weekend / emerald coast poker run on the main tanks and still had a little more than half tanks left over.

Are you doing the Austin run next weekend on the 20th? Theres a few of us coming down from FTW to join yall if so

Yes, this is the last run of the season, which is typically the best. They have the lower floor at Carlos & Charlies for the end of the year party and Dysfunkshun Junkshun playing that evening.
