Yeah, what John said! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Finster, that wasn't a dig towards you with the 1.2 vs. 1.15 thing, it's just that you had mph and knots backwards in your conversion. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

All right, all right. You'd have it backward too if you were on back pain medication from shoveling snow all day (12 mic lights) [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] . I never said I was very bright. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Rudders,
Lucky you! I was in Maine last year in October. I really wanted to see BIW, but we couldn't even get close enough to peek through the fence after 9/11. Did see some awesome Naval ships when we visited the wooden boat museum. Maine really blew me away. Going back next summer withthe kiddos.

In regards to Suzuki: They are still getting Patents and legal work completed so details are thin. So thin that the internet gets the info before the dealers
