It believe it will be at the Support The Troops Poker Run at LOTO 6/24. Looking forward to seeing it up close.

I'm in total shock over this result.

I'm even more shocked you've actually owned a boat!

Nice work Sunsation!

The XT packages with the quarter canopies is really slick and appropriate for a boat that runs this fast.

I have followed the story of this model for some time and it is impressive on many levels. The most impressive of these is what it has done for a family-owned-run company with a giant heart.

That was a LONG time ago. I don't remember what the props were but they could have been 4 blade 30s. Motors were 502/700SCs. It was a shakedown cruise on Grand Lake for the owner who was in Chicago IIRC.
