Hey folks...<br /><br />I have been out of town for awhile and it appears that someone relatively new has joined our board... Scott Smith a.k.a. "Chinewalker" has been posting some very informative remarks that I'm sure you all will agree are coming from someone who's obviously experienced in powerboating. I discovered his webpage a year or more ago by linking from the Antique Outboard Motor Club Inc. web site... I used to think I was nuts about boats until I ran into this guy... Geez. Anyway, give his site a look see. And let's hope he elects to stick around for a while... He definitely has much to contribute.<br /><br />FYI<br /><br />Walt
