1. That guy is ready to roast some marshmellows.

2. I wonder what the insurance carrier would say to that one.

3. What does a gallon of Jet-A run these days.

That fuel must not cost too much for that guy. He runs around in that thing almost every weekend during the summer

The heat that comes off the back of him is unreal. I was right behind him coming under the Mantoloking bridge by my house, smelled like i was at the airport. Even in my whaler which would do 60ish I wasn't going to attempt to keep up. Cool boat but glad I don't pay for the fuel!

Ok, finally with a couple running pictures. They were taken on the Suwannee, Sat. 3/12/11 Big thanks to Baja and Beefy.

It was running about 60MPH in the pictures. Saw 63MPH light on fuel and cool weather late in the day. Ran 70 miles round trip, fuel burn 1.5 MPG, average speed 45MPH. The Wellcraft ain't got nothing for the crowd I was with but she got lots of comments, I am still proud of her. See what I mean here. http://www.screamandfly.com/showthre...13-2011/page16

You know Beefy?
Met Beefy and his brother last year at another meet. They are students here in FL and card carrying members of the OMC Club. They give the Merc guys all they want now. If they were properly funded, well lookout. Pretty tame bunch really, a bunch of go fast gearhead types. BTW we could strap 3 - 3.0L Mercs on the back and we wouldn't raise an eyebrow with that crowd.

Thanks NYMACK, the boat has been done for several years. I smile every time someone takes notice. The novelty hasn't wore off yet.
