KiDa: I haven't seen an actual issue yet, but I'll keep an eye out for them.
MikeeH: Yes, I'm not sure if Ira Black knew what to make of his test ride. We were headed down the Susquehanna from Port Deposit to Havre de Grace whe he asked me "How fast are we going - 50?" I looked at the speedo - We were doing 78, and still accelerating. I thought about it for a second, and told him we were doing 66..... [:-angel] Actually, having the boat in Robb Report in 1999 was the real "Big Time". [^]
Based on my last attempt to get anywhere near your place, I'll need to switch from a stern drive to a jet. Or a paddle.
tr_guy79: I'd almost forgotten about those "demo rides" on the Flats. That was back in 2003, I think. When the boat reappears, it will have been upgraded from 532 to 625 hp. There will be a "minor personality change" associated with that upgrade....
The Nor'Easter staff was awesome. They printed an 11" x 17" photo of the cover for me at no charge. It also turns out that our other boat is pictured in one of the rotating banners on their web site. When you see a shot of a group of go-fasts idling towards the camera, our 38' Formula (with silver hullsides) is just above the "M" in "Magazine".
You can see what 20kts is like in a diesel deadrise.....and I can see the opposite.
