The beauty of your boat Jim is it not only kicks ass, it "hauls" ass as well - both literally and figuratively. Who doesn't like to see your boat show up at the dock?

Always enjoyed that powerboat. Going from memory here, but I believe when raced as Zero Defect she sported multi speed transmissions, and (then new unheard of) dry sumped VISSM's. Had a undefeated race season. An exciting Skater to be sure!

Love it when I see that boat tearing it up. Gives me hope that mine (2002) has a lot more years left in her.
