you still have this?

Being the driver of that boat this past Feb. at the ADBA Race at Bluewater, I can say that boat is a runner for sure! The short time I got to drive that boat, I really enjoyed it...the most responsive jet I've ever experienced! We tried to convince the previous owner to keep that thing...but he has 2 boats already and blah blah blah. We brought home a runner-up trophy in ME! Could have been a winner but it got blown out! We were sitting in the Final round waiting to see who our competition was when the wind hit. You got yourself a really nice piece there...and the motor is solid!

get back to work! between the 2 of us we have 4 boats and not 1 is ready for summer and it's 4-19!

he's in Pacoima or real close to it, 5 and 118

nice pick up! you and Larry will look like twins cruising up and down the river

  As you can see I am a new member. I also happen to be the new owner this boat. I have been a boat owner for ~20 years, however my back ground is motorcycles, not boats. I am merely a recreational boater.
  I am sure you guys hear about boat deals more often than I and you don't have to look far to find some rough stories. Speaking on behalf of this deal, doing business with Steve far exceeded any expectations. Being in business I know how things can be at times. He and his son are absolute professionals and went over and above to make certain I was comfortable, understood what I was getting into, making certain the boat was in absolute pristine condition upon delivery which included them driving the boat to my river property to make certain we ran the boat together on Friday. He answered any questions, had reciepts for eveything and took whatever time needed to again, make certain I was comfortable. His character and integrity is top notch!   
  How did it run................First pass on GPS it ran 103mph. The boat is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!!!  Thank you Steve and (son) Steve.

Larry

 Thanks Larry and thanks for letting Stevie take it for a spin, I went by C&J today and John printed up the specs for the carbs and my wife put them in the mail for you so keep an eye out for them, enjoy your new
boat and be sure to get your self a good life jacket, when things go wrong they go wrong fast and you need to give yourself the best chance you can! Steve
