Which one did you ride in? I know there is Fire and Ice, Mine and then full House

He has 1000s, 1200's and I believe some PSI blower motors that can be turned up to 1350+....

That's whats nice about where it's at right now.....it could be completed by him in probably a max of 10-14days to have it turn key and ready to go....obviously outside of having it prop'd..
That boat will run 100mph through some nasty water. When most guys would be heading in or staying in that thing will be heading out to go for a ride.

Ive rode in a 46 OL limited with staggard 1200's on lake michigan in 4-5ft washing machine. At 80mph you can sip a Martini. It really is a whole new level of boating with those big 46+ staggered monsters.

A guy in New Buffalo took me out in Full House. It was some seriously nasty water. That 47 knocked everything down at 100mph.

So you're selling the OL! The last I can recall Full House is in MI somewhere. Good luck with the sale as she is a battleship. I may have the original test data laying around the factory.
