Got back to dock...Changed plugs, installed new gaskets and all is good.

Right now, it needs a new owner....only15 hrs. in the last 3 years on a depreciating asset really doesn't make a lot of sense of keeping it around,
Wife wants one of those aluminum tubular catamarans that we can ram up on the beach, haul around one of those floating wrestling mats, and pull the kid around on big mable

We were in the 38 Cig TS...you rolled by us probably around the 12 mm, we were going 80, you had to be going 100 when you went by us...then you
chased down Grants 38 Donzi...the boat looked good and had a nice set to it

Closer to 115....lol. That was fun. What does that Orange Donzi have for power? Boat runs/looks great. And thank u. I simply can't ask for more on how my old pile handles the slop at LOTO. It does pretty damn well for a lightweight Beak. It just seems to fly really level....

The Donzi has 700s that I'm fairly sure have had the whipple upgrades...I know it ran 114 in the shootout a few years back

The exhaust fumes got to the cockpit a long time ago !!!. Loose clamp and leaking gasket fouled all 16 plugs I guess the fumes got there.
