Can you say, "Gulfstream in less than 30 min."

[Franco]

You gotta love his statement about this boat running for thousands of hours before work will be needed (BS).

Those engines are on some smaller aircraft and are overhauled somewhat regularily.

[Franco]

didja notice how many bids it got!!!!

[phester]

hey skools, you gonna drop one [or two] of those in your v20?

[reelapeelin]

Gotta admit...lookin' under "engine mfgr" and seein' "Pratt & Whitney" is a gas!!...Franco, kill one engine, break off two opposing blades on other out-drive; THEN she'll troll... :o...

[Skools Out]

na i don't want those in my boat. I'm never seen a Marina sign saying we sale Gas, Diesel, & Jet Fuel. Yeah pull up and ask do you sale JP4 or JP5 lol. Could you imagine docking that boat and how hard it would be to back a jet in easy they don't run slow do they? yeah you back in and set the dock on fire with your exhaust lol.

[reelapeelin]

Gives new meaning to the phrase; "Light one up?"... :o...
