Great job Jim. Every time I see that boat it looks better. Believe me I know what it takes,lots of work and frustration but it will be worth it in the end. It gives me a lot of respect to pros like Marty and Joe. I don't think I would do it for a living. I don't think I would do anything for a living.Greg James

Thanks for all the nice comments. I remember watching Chuck and Marty with their Sabercraft and how it seemed to ride so smoothly compared to most. I've been out several times and am really impressed on how she planes out at slow speeds and really only needs about a 70 hp motor. I'm guessing the sweet spot is about 22 to 25 mph, and really hasn't been too bad on fuel. Thanks again. jbJim Brooks
