I would have liked to have had another shot at him, because my Phantom is all sorted out.

And I would like to run the Italian Stallion Fountain, maybe he is playing possum and really runs 90+, and is holding back on that extra 5 mph in order to drum up a race or two.

Never know unless I get on the water this summer.

Picture of Steve and his son, with my relatives on my boat at Lloyd's creek two years ago, a great day on the water, two 34' Phantoms.

And C-Spray/Chuck's Mannerfelt .....been reading about boat with the repower, another single engine hot-rod.

That single engine Activator s the type of hot-rod that I like seeing on the water.

Line em-up Stallion ......gotta run em, may not win, but ya gotta try.

Yeah I have used the ramp at the end of sloop creek. It sucks but use it when I am in a jam. I am not doing anything to my boat. It ran great all year and just want to enjoy it this season. I know JP. Does he still have that 67-69 camaro with that 509 in it.
