Yes Billy Dragon lady was a 38. Joe does own it Ive got it. Did you get wind of the price I gave for the boat rigged with detuned Mercury super cat motors to run on 93 oct. Dry sump 6s shiftable transmissions, 4 person intercom, 4 person scuba, 4 seats. Only thing missing was props, wrap for graphix, gas and helmets. Was the price to high? I even sent a text dropping the price to put 525s in it. Give me a call tomorrow if you get a minute. Thanks

The Ohio Steel boat was a mess from the start. It was built with carbon fiber and epoxy but they never heated the boat up to cure the epoxy. It also had issues with prop slip due the triple engine set up. It only raced a few times then it disappeared. I know this because I worked there from 94-96 and my father was in charge of that project after Jim Caldwell screwed it up. It did run 137.24 mph but it just wasn’t right.
