Read and heard that also. As SO says calling Tres might answer any questions.

Call Offshore Performance in Grasonville Md 410-827-0200 and talk to them about their 38 Top Gun "The Spider Boat" with 1200's and 6's.

They also have a new 46 Rough Rider with 700 CID 1200's and 6's.

The 38 runs over 120 If I recall correctly. Call and talk to them. The boat belongs to the Owner of Offshore. Also Harry @ Offshore has a 42 Tiger with 900's, but I think he is running 3's. He has steps.....

Sounds like an awesome boat Cigar! How about some pictures?

I am currently rerigging my 1999 Top Gun (cover girl) with dry sump 6's and Chief 950's, so I am definitely interested in your project.

I originally talked to DMan and he definitely helped me out on a few things like x dimension...etc...

What are you running for props and what kind of speeds are you seeing?

Take care and congrats!
