Thats awesome Morgan!!

With that much structural damage on Buckshot if I was the builder, I would want to do an analysis of damage and create improvements in hull / stress design. I would think Rich did!!

So what was the reason???

Hi Dan Merry Xmas
I was reading through the site & saw this. What is the story behind this, Im interested if you know.
Jim

Merry Christmas to you to Jim!!

Dan
Thanks for the info. I figured it was something like that. I have a friend that went crazy like that and got away with it only because he cut the HP in half so the hull had a much easier life. I know it first hand cause I ended up buying the boat next and beat the heck out of it. Looking forward to boating with you guys again. If you guys are ever interested in running the Hudson, jump ship for a while & Ill take you for a ride in my cat.
Jim

Yea, we will def. have to boat together again next year. The Hudson and your cat sounds like a plan!:D In return well have to give you a ride in the Cig or Sutphen.

Sounds good

Sutphen Speed-26
 

The 26 In Race And Pleasure Form Would Run 93 To 98 Mph Depending On The Weather. The Engine Was A 509 Supercharged-brovo Drive. The Boat Ran Like It Was On Rails. I Took The Same Engine And Put It In A New 31 - 85mph On Gps. Incredible Handling

Sweet!! Would love to run with you sometime next year. You doing any poker runs with the newer 31??

I Have Been Working Converting A Barn To A House For The Last 6 Years. I Have A Dry Sump 572 1000-1200hp Engine In The Boat. Just A Little More Rigging To Do. With The Single Engine And Drive The Boat Has INCREDIBLE BALANCE. Will Be Running In Several Poker Runs This Summer.mostly In The N.E. Pete Nopper Expressed Interest In Racing His 26 This Year Again.
