We ended up taking top gun manufacturer vee at 128mph, but we unfortunately ran into some engine problems and the motors were not making anywhere near full power.

That is a bad ass Black Thunder. I am sure you will figure out the gremlins.

Thanks, we've got it figured it out. Just made a couple mistakes on our part.

We hope to have a 43' GT Poker Run edition with 700's there.

Great news! Always have loved black thunders, incredible cabins! I think with a slightly modernized top deck these boats could do well in the market. Good luck to all involved
