My 28 wouldn't float the hardware for 4) motors. :-)

Not this year. I have not had time this summer to dial it in. Too many commitments. I did see 97.5 with my bravo props with 4 on board and 3/8+ tanks. It's at Boat Customs for bottom blue printing final clearcoat and some additional hardware. I'll be at Camden with my wife this year I was hopeful the wives could meet.

We will be there next year. Make sure not to leave the shootout with all.of the cruiser traffic so she doesnt get a bad taste in her mouth and not want to come back next year. It would be great for.Ru to.meet her. Hopefully both you and I will have our skaters dialed in and ready for 2016.
Are you going boatless this year or will your skater get finished in time to have it there to.just have fun driving around?
