I really like this boat, I have always wondered why light weight small blocks were not more popular in boats this sized. Have you got it pretty much dialed in now and where is the boat at top speed wise?

Nice to hear you enjoyed the summer season!

Ft Myers Offshore, season opener Oct 29, will you be here by then with the boat?

If not, you are welcome to come with us.

FYI: second grandchild born almost 2 weeks ago. All are healthy and happy!

Frank. Nice video and run. I really want to do a run with your group sometime. I noticed you also had a video of the Osborne Family lights. They are great friends of ours. Mr. Osborne or Jennings passed away several weeks ago. It was great to see a video of his lights. He was all about making this world a little brighter fo others.
