This boat had 225's on it, full of fuel with three people during military testing it ran 76-78 MPH in 115 degree heat and hot water with stock props and the engines low.(they did not want any trickery) here I could get another 12 miles an hour easy in good Ole Florida water and tweaking the setup.

We always have had common ground with the boats. My happiest day was when I picked up my new(to me)boat. My saddest day was when I saw it destroyed. I haven't been to an Offshore race in three years. I'm here instead of Biloxi this wkend. No poker runs. It's been tough.

The Gougeon Brothers were or are quite the Iceboaters also.
U.S. and I think World Champs in the DN class a few years back .. they know their boat building on the water and ice
Thank you
Jim
