Thanx again, Wrink

Mental, I am told is it should run mid to high 80's. Weight is 13 to 13.5 K. Fastboats .com posts top speed as 94mph! If that could happen, I think I would walk around w/ a constant John Holmes Woody! YEEEHAAA!!!

Have met some great friends up there that like to boat and hang out and do these things... not necessarily OSO people. But, PefectMix on OSO is OK if he's had enough beer. Stay in touch, Tracy

Re: New 43 V Bottom
Terry... how many 43s have been built with mild triples verus big twins? It seems as though more triples are out there, but I could be wrong.
