After re-rigging, overheated constantly, never ran to the standard I was accustomed to from NT.

Traded Warbird V for a 60' SeaRay (we went through a naming contest here: "Falcon"). Had to sue the "guy" that I traded through for the final papers.

As you get older and wiser, you learn that there are some people that you never do business with again...

Hans is correct; Warbird III weighed 17,000 lbs and ran 140 properly trimmed and driven. Alpha Boat-What a rush!! Maybe one of the best ever...(and I'm so old that I must be years ahead of my time too LOL!!)
