What's that thing they call "hind sight?"

I remember there was a big buzz when it was listed .... and Socalstone actually went out on a test drive. Such a great boat but she could not find a good home the first 4 years of her life, maybe being such a race setup originally? dry exhaust, light and fast, no ammenities, 8-71 blower with open scoop hatch. I heard wives would never go back out on it and ended up turning over the first three deals.

Some guys would have appreciated that aspect of the boat! :ernaehrung004:

Here she is brand new .....

Great anchor hang out space up front, great to run and talk at the same time and super for training my daughter how to trim and run a boat. Plus I loved not having tv's, microwaves and cabinet doors banging around!

This is the finest built boat I have had, and I have had some really nice boats. I am so impressed with the way this boat was put together with the extra bulkhead under the deck, hull side stiffeners, and no liner ..... yet it felt as solid as a block of concrete while being super lightweight. Thing ran 93 with 750 HP and no steps .... that's impressive.

Storm got a one of a kind in my opinion ..... with all my bike builds, dirt biking and jetskis the next thing for me is an interest bearing account! ;)

Mike, I think you'll have a harder time finding a 'meaningful' intereset bearing account, than it would be to find a replacement boat. ;)

The layout of this boat attracted me to it 10 yrs ago, and you have only improved on it since. It's the perfect compromise for me and my family.
