my brother Timmy who works for Pompi told me your chase boat had a real hard time getting to the boat after your run.He said you were sinking.

The ride wasn't as bad from the cockpit. The GPS recalls were 206 and 207...

Tachyon, I'm looking forward to seeing your new hull. When's it comming out of the mold? I'm planning a trip out your way and want to check out the progress. I understand your're re-powering w/ V12's?
