There seems to be some drama with this owner, also the 38' Magnum hull he had was taken over for back rent. I haven't seen the boat since she last raced.

I met this guy two years ago .......Cool boat but i would be skeptical about the whole deal////

. After doing a little research this guy has bent over a lot of people and the boat is really ruff....I am not bashing it , buy whatever ya want.....I just hate to see someone get screwed.....

------Chuck is one of the all time good guys, IMHO!!! Matter of fact I have to stop by and see him today. I believe he is as unhappy about what has befallen S/C as anyone could be. He loved that boat.......Bill S

-----H20,,,Reportedly,,,the engines were left out last winter without draining. You remember last winter. Bad cold spells etc. etc.. It seems like they arent over yet, but I got my DONZI wet today anyway. Corned beef at Browns was awsome!!!,,,Anyway,,, Freeze plugs no longer intact. No further exploration done. Other parts missing as well, I am told.........Bill S
