Rik, Phil mentioned in past that driving a ASD boat takes some getting used to. What difference is it? Assuming planning? What about reaction to trim?

lol!! Seeing this just proves how dedicated you are to this sport. There is a ton of time and testing involved in what you have there. With more people like you ( us) in this sport it is a Grass roots powerful movement. .LOL!! I love to see this.. Long live the power of Offshore powerboats P.S.. did those 4 blades work on your boat??

We are looking for decent room, nice cabin, EFI if possible, and run 90+. 100ish would be great but don't need much more. The Hustler section doesn't have much traffic.... hence the reason I posted here. Appreciate the info

Looks like an easy project http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/boa/5906637640.html[ATTACH=CONFIG]562574[/ATTACH]
