Quite a collection, quite a progression.

I feel very fortunate to have ridden in that boat.

Here's another vee- Tom's Tainted Lady.

He brought her here this weekend...

There is another pleasure 399 with a wrap around windshield. It doesn't have a cabin though. I thought the one that I did (Bruce's) was the only one with a cabin. The one with the wrap around has a similar paint scheme to Bruce's but with green (I think) as the primary color. JC Perf. did the power in it. I believe they had some handling issues with the boat. Not sure exactly. I think Lake Cumberland has it for sale with 700/NXT's.

Good luck this weekend. Stay safe.

Unfortunately it isn't mine. I rigged and built the power for it. I did have the pleasure of running it last year at the Shootout and was lucky enough to win Non Pro Vee, as well as my class. I would love to do it again this year. Bruce wasn't able to make it last year so I took the boat, trailer and matching truck and headed to LOTO. Now that is a good customer that will give you his entire rig to go flog on.:drink:
