Snookems, remind me to get Corbin`s name engraved on the Biggest Fish/ Bent Prop trophy.

GFS-I saw twin 150 OP's for 3k today on the web. After Fr Frank referenced the 26 Scarab, the feedback on power was discussed in as much or more detail on THT today. It was pro a big single not twins. Will do on the trophy!

I would like to hear a little more about what yal guys think about the twins vs single toppic. I read that twins would give a boat like this better handling and a more responsive control over the single. A better draft is certin. I like the idea of the twins but would like to know which would preform better on this boat or say one like it a foot longer. Just would like to see what everone thinks about this subject.

This boat needs its own photo gallery so we can see the pics easily from pre-purchase to fishing and crusing and ....

The cd has resto pics. I have not seen many yet. Still making calls for history and work has been busy of course. I am also tech challenged. Ya think? I can`t even burn a cd. Shameful , I know. Thanks all for your continued patience.

Thanks Danny, that is an interesting thread indeed. I`ve seen 42 gps on my 20 which is fine with me, but have been told this hull really wakes up over 40. I had a 3/4 race Moto Guzzi 1000 LeMans in `85 which was the same way. Over 80 she just came alive in such a visceral cacaphony of the senses. I was told I was clocked at 151 one day...never saw them.
Rotten child.

I second that! Photo gallery when you have time to get it up and working would be awesome.

I have to get her near a hose for a bath first. Thursday is area rug day. I hate Thursdays.
Beer number 2 is helping. I may have some time tomorrow to look at more of the cd.

Cheers,
Flying Pigs. Hmm, another possible boat name...
