I am in the process of moving after 11 years and came across my "Boat Stash" of old test articles. I took a break and scanned this one...enjoy.

As a post script to this after re-reading the article things that we consider "Normal" for a performance boat were new and "Leading Edge in 1985/1986...such as Kiekhiefer Zero effort Controls and McLeod Bolster Seats.The author describes these two features in great detail. Note the casual mention of "Stereo/TV/VCR".

I guess you're old if you remember "Before DVD's"...much less "Before VCR's". Hell...I talked to a few 45 year olds in a Marina last week about "Compensating" a compass and they looked at me like a " Dog looking at a Fan!!" LOL

Of the boats I've owned, 357 was my favorite.

This video was recorded last Wednesday ,after some adjustments to cooling system we ran on Pablo's 91 357 from haulover inlet to miami beach marina in south beach, ocean was beautiful.

Ps: Pablo's 357 is in extremely great shape, mint condition


John, I am sure Pablo will appreciate this info you are providing.
