That’s one of those ugly ducklings you hate until you use it for its purpose, and then it’s the most beautiful thing ever.

haha that’s the west coast style. Everyone’s got big power in their family boat. Mainly cuz that boat will cruise at 75 all day long hardly working

I had trouble working out which end is which.
Once I found the 'pointy end' I thought it actually looked pretty cool. Should be plenty fast enough for the family.

What drive is he going to use to hold that power.If it’s a bravo style,better by 2 so you have a spare that gets rotated back and forth.

Simply having power at your fingertips doesn't mean you have to use it. I think Caine said that in the "Kung Fu" TV series.
