Ya, Dave Ray was telling me about that. Ive only seen Teds boats race once but it was pretty amazing to see!
The last motor I had on my V-King actually came from Shawn Torrente. Really nice guy to deal with.

I'll see if I can find some pictures for ya. I think I took some of your boat when it was running with a 15" drag on it

Hello everyone well I sent my boat to thunder marine here in toronto,they found that the floor around the seats were rotted,The seats felt like your on a spring board,So they are replacing the floor with marine plywood and resin,that also makes the structure sound,floor and transom are solid,thunder marine said that the glass job when the boat was built was a topnotch job ,no air pockets,Took them 3 hours to remove the floor,These guys were from miami doing offshore boat repairs,The gunnel doesnt have to be replaced since they said they can straighten it!Thegunnel molding is originally riveted on then the hull and deck are sandwhiched together,also they are blueprinting the hull,which they say I CAN ACHIEVE AN EXTRA 5 MPH, iLL KEEP UPDATING THE PROGRESS,Regards Speedmaster2 :up:
