I'll buy the drinks!!! Mid March at the latest. Final R and D run confirmed final production configuration in Key West. 5 sets in work right now!! (Tyson when you read this please confirm delivery to Gino on OSO) Thank You,

Thanks Jim, Can't wait. If they are ready by the boat show I would be thrilled! The boat is at MTI getting all the newest updates. Motors are just getting finished at Sterling. I would love to be able to start the season fresh with everything one shot. I think these are going to make a huge difference!! Thank you

In fact, at the NYC Poker Run when he fired them up and I was impressed how quite the engine room was and how mellow the idle was!
