BUP, no problem.

I agree that's alot of slip. Should run 80 easily under good conditions. I believe it was 3 persons and 40gal fuel test runs. Not good for max speed/slip numbers.

Thanks for posting the Powerboat article! I don't recall another Velocity making the cover of Power Boat magazine since I started subscribing in 1994. Nice to see it again 16 years later and makes me miss the annual PB offshore boat tests that were published ever Jan - Mar. Really looked forward to receiving those magazines in the mail during the dead of winter!
