Haha, I sell Nissans, they've got $6000 off on new titans, thinking of trading in the Evo.

I'll post pics if I buy one.

Big Basin Marina in Chanahan may be a good place to practice. Good Luck and have fun! Dave

Ended up launching at East Chicago... It wasn't busy at all and was pretty straightforward to launch there.

Had a good cruise up to the playpen with Joe, and the weather really cooperated with us.

Opened her up on the way back and saw 68 mph on GPS into a stiff wind and against the seas. It'll be interesting to see what I pick up with the wind at my back and some following seas.

The boat is really pretty man! I love those classic lines...28 Pantera with a single was on my short list a few years back...who knows, if gas goes up some more, I may trade DOWN!
