That would be a bit much for our local pond. Nothing wrong with the current boat.

Or at least put a blower on that motor. Then you might get 60 out of it. Of course your throttle man will probably be able to get 70.

Mitch sent me a note tonight to start working on the paint. Hopefully we will talk sometime this week.
OK, Don Johnson.

Don doesn't need a throttle man - he drives with both hands on the steering wheel.

Twin minimum, and blower minimum, COOL I'm covered

John lets see some ideas on paint so we can all help you with your decision

The sad part is if you put it on its top I'll probably be with you , and if you run over someone, well they should not be in our way

It'll be us single engine, non-blower guys that you would be running over.

Leaving for the plant in about 30 minutes for a visit tomorrow. Last time before the molds get made - the schedule is set for the glass shop to shoot the molds.

Talked at length with Mitch yesterday and he is starting some renditions for paint. He said he should have some within two weeks.

I went over budget on everything else so I decided to just put a couple trolling motors on the boat.

I will probably post some new pics over on the 43 thread Sunday.

One of the topics for the meeting tomorrow is another discussion on hitting Miami. I want some of what they are taking.

If I buy a cat, Lifelines will be on the boat.

Got one last run in yesterday. Put in at Havana and ran up to Pekin, down back past Havana to LaGrange, and then back up to Havana. 140 plus miles. Great weather...72, sunny, light winds. Saw no fewer than a dozen of these...
