We sold a pair of Whipples to a guy with one who sent us back a picture of the GPS at 118, though I never got a ride in it.
The boat ive been in is owned by a guy named Joe, has blower motors we did the EFI tuning for. Awesome boat

refer to PB's 33 AVS write-ups
positively fawned over rough water capability and handling of the 33, more than once
all you need to know to make a decision easy

This is true. I have both issues somewhere, I can also personally attest to the boats abilities as well doing a fair amount of my boating in the Atlantic and having owned/own both of the packages written about.

That being said, the OP did say he would be lake boating, so..
