Looks and sounds good. Whatever happened with your odeal with Dart?

thanks,
the video clips as you know don't do much justice however they really bark. it's a good thing i boat up north or i would never get away with the noise. up here the cops and coast guard give you a thumbs up. i remember those day in grand haven. i had to get pulled in and out of the channel most of the time.

in regards to the head - it was sent to dart and they immeadiately took action and assumed it to be defective and sent another one out next day. i must say the end result is i was satisfied. a little po'd at first but as you know some times these rebuilds with all the time and cost involved can get a little agrivating. i really like their heads and will continue to.

take care,
john
