The day Sandman was in a 25, I was running along side. Forecast was 4-6 and I thought it was accurate. It was ugly and confused. I had my tabs up, running mostly straight into it at just under 20 knots and the boat was occasionally jumping almost out of the water but landing with no bang. Put the tabs down, slow down to 17 - 18 knots and I could have run to Bimini ( 60 miles), mostly sitting down. I'm way too old to try that in a 23.

Thanks again for the input... I do appreciate it. If I don't end finding a good home for this one... Its gonna get repowered and sent to the Oregon Coast for my Personal boat... The idea of owning 3 of these buggers is Insane.

Thanks again..
Robert
