Good to hear Johnny
Now are you going to let your old man work the throttles for a little bit this weekend or are you going to make him ride in the minihawk

Re: The Avanti is pretty much DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job on the boat.. I have a friend who used to run a lot of the stuff at Avanti for the owner.. They have some interesting boats.. If memory serves me correctly they are made in NJ..

Just curious what did you do with the Kaama drive??
