Default SB sighted in TX, all black with triple OB's

We were out cruising in the Sea Ray this afternoon and RA caught a glimpse of a ~30' SB, with triple evinrudes, all black deck and hull, she thinks its name was "Fast Forward II". Anybody know anything about this boat?? Couldn't chase it down at 15kts

LOL

To that end, I have talked with the V-10 guys in canada about re-powering the Sea Ray, the calculated speed would have been 39 kts and the hull would have been chine walking!!!!!! All that for a meer $52K, engines FOB Canada!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a really cool boat.. got any old pics of her? How'd it run with the trips? What motors did you have on? Handle good or ass heavy?

Thanks
