Hey dave!
Did you get some more hours on that beast? I finished up installing my new manifolds and rebuilt carbs. Running her this weekend to fine tune things - wish me luck. Last time out with 21 Rev4's it ran pretty well.

SP - Looking good!
Yeah, I'm getting some seat time, but it's tough with a 2 month old baby boy in the house!
We launched in Huntington Beach a couple weeks ago and cruised up to the Catalina Ski Race in Long Beach CA.
That was frickin' awesome! Saw some SICK boats and some TIRED looking skiers!
Had 5 dudes (including me) in Airtime, and she handled the seas awesome! Totally comfortable in the 2 and 3 footers.
Hoping to head out of Dana Point in SoCal on Sunday. Take 'er easy. Dave911

Dave,
I looked in the classifieds so I know you're not kidding, but you gotta be kidding

I got a PM for the X-dimension on the boat, and while I can't think of a way to measure it, I've attached an image with measurement from the bottom center of Gen 1 Alpha in relation to the hull V. Hope this helps.
BTW - Took Airtime out solo yesterday off Dana Point. Threw on a life jacket, and kicked the speed up to about 55-60 mph in 1-3 footers. I've done a few autocrosses and raced street and dirt motorcycles, but the thrill of offshore blows them all away! Gonna be real hard to part with this boat (if I ever do). Dave911
