Ben has the videos on YouTube of the boat he set up. He doesn't cut corners on jobs he does so I'd assume that's about how they would run.

If you do one and it's different let us know. That would give people a incentive to build a new one vs redo a older one.

The one Ben did was a 42 Lightning & was under propped for accleration. The boat we were talking about is a 42 poker run edition which is a faster boat.

...........Or you could just buy Gino's green Lambo boat, it' now reduced to $1,099,000 in OSO classifieds.
(If you don't need a "Cat-Killer")

R.E. Powerball, it's easy to plan with 28m. I've already provided enough in my will for those who deserve it so I figure I've got about twenty years left, blow 8m on toys, put the rest in the safe and live on 1m/year.
There's no point being the richest guy in the cemetery!
