    Man that thing is amazing looking.

    Is it for pleasure or competition? Pardon my ignorance.

    I am dumbfounded.

    I have been working with Mike on this for about two years now. Based on some of the radar information from the last outing the boat was going 105 MPH. Mike had to lift because the boat was not stable at that speed. That was pump gas and 8 Psi, and no where near the redline for his engine.




    Hey Mike get in here!
