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?

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

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.

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.
