I know exactly who you are and have read your useless posts over the years.

There you go. More BS.. you don't know me. At all. We have never met. Talked on the phone.. nothing.

Speaking of useless posts, your last one is "real strong".

Yes, I've raced hydroplanes in the national modified class, a boat I tuned and drove. Chris Mills and I built with our own hands a bare 48 skater vee bottom that ran better than any vee bottom to come out of the factory, we built and ran the very first pleasure mystic... and it ran great. Every boat I've owned, comes out of my ownership faster than when I bought it.

You don't know me. So know what your saying before you open your mouth. Aren't you the one *****ing about people talking about things they don't know.

Bill Vogels Goodwin engines in Gotcha didn't run for ****.

More fun than anybody should be allowed to have!

I have a vintage Grand Prix that I hope to take on the vintage circuit someday. You probably know the boat given your location. 1970 Lauterback called the Advance United. I bought it from Tom Bertolini.

I don't actually. Looks sweet though. We started GPs in 88 after 10 years in drags. The vintage boats put on a great show. I grew up around open cockpit Blown Fuel Hydros. Talk about having some balls to get behind the wheel!

The one set of Goodwin engines I'm talking about, were ridiculously expensive, and didn't run for ****.
I bet the cars that he put those engines in are a handful to drive

I love these posts.... where someone asks a question then a bunch of people claim to know the story and another bunch of people dispute that... then you have one or two people who say "both those groups know nothing but I know the real story(insert cocky tone here)" and never actually offer any info

if you arent willing to talk about it then why charade all the social media sites and stories when you come out with something new and cool ?
people like to see innovation and technology why slam people for just asking for updates much less not give some follow up info be it good or bad ? Rome wasn't built overnight
