Atleast I don't have you in the ground like ol' Ragged Edge does! If I ever make it back out there to visit the family, I will have to look you up and go for a ride!!

Ya right, hardly the case. Just grew up and wanted a real boat. Though stuffing the 32 once at eighty did cause me to stop and think for a minute. But I kept it for six years after that.

You should try it, walking on the dark side has its advantages.

My 30 gave me so many close calls I lost track .A couple of times I landed so hard , the bolts and or hoses on my trim tabs broke or blew out . Even busted the trim rams a few times . At the end of a poker run my crew was sometimes blistered and brused from the abuse .But was always one of the first ones , even when it was rough .Lots of fun for me , scary for some

If I lived on a lake or river I would still own it .I raced the boat on and off for over 10 years .D's cousin drove , I throttled .The boat when tucked in ran like a sports car .Great acceleration , super grip in turns . More fun to drive than my present ride in seas up to 5ft . I often think about tring to buy it back !!! What more can I say , I had a love affair with my old 30 and often miss her . It is the type of power I learned to respect quick .That be said , I should be dead . Never had any accidents ,but to many close calls . Have fun be safe

Boats like that go as fast as you as you can control them .Most of the time , it had more power than I could use . Not just along for the ride , it liked to be driven hard . The harder the better !!!
