Thanks Ted. I was wondering how that turned out and would like to see it. May be helpful since Predator is sorta for sale. We were in that same 95 MPH range when we blew by. I will PM you my contact info.

I'd like to see this boat in person one day. I'd be interested in seeing how it handles Georgian Bay. Looks great.

I wish 3. I think it may be 4 with the Sea Ray 190 that the kids bomb around in at the cottage. I now have a problem cause the 3 kids think the Sea Ray should go and they each have a TUFF 21 ! LOL Mark will be pleased to hear that.

The "sorta for sale" comment just means with the new NT not scheduled for completion till March or April I do not really want to part with Predator until sometime next year or maybe not at all. I love that boat. Sometime after the first of the year I will sharpen up on the price some, but not planning on any fire sale.

Yes, I hope to be at the DoubleR party. Always over the top!

Please tell me it is not Sat Dec 8th as I will be in FL. I must check the date.

3500 #'s?????
Damn - that's light for that size. You need to get that thing weighed.
Again, great looking boat, and impressive numbers.

Great numbers and looks for a wicked looking v-bottom!
Wonder what one of our HO600 (496) motors would do in there? Maybe a naturally aspirated, efi, pump gas single engine v-bottom that nails the 100mph club!! Might be the first?

Congratulations!
