You were saying that this boat topped out at about seventy MPH. Try out a Cougar 46.. 9.5 foot beam with a staged fyberglassed hull and three 1000 HP engines. Does 105 MPH in a four foot chop as easy as you please.

Great Photos!

No, it was the boat in the other photo that we clocked at 70+. We didn't clock this one. 100+? Wow!

The one that you clocked, maybe could go a little faster, 5 to 10 MPH with a good tune up and an also good Lake Winnipesaukee tail wind!



The Courgar that I mentioned in my comment was named ( Distant Thunder ). The engine builder and I delivered it to the owner. Launched it from the power station at Long Island, NY. and went across the sound to Stratford, Connectuit in just 12 minutes during rush hour traffic!.. Not bad...

Had to whare goggles to keep the salt air from ripping our eyeballs out, even behind the windshield!.... Oh, and by the way,... I did kiss Mother Earth when I returned to the mainland, right there in New York!..

Again, thanks for your Great Photos!



PS.... My spell checker told me to "Go Away!"..
