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???

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.

Default 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
