With all of the talk going on I want to speak up for Joey snd Stu. Joey may or may not have the best business practices, but as far as his abilities behind the dashboard of a boat there is no question. He has the record to prove he is one of the best. Nobody can say they should have done something different... Because nobody else was in that exact situation besides them. Everyone should be thankful today was not a tragedy. People have there priorities backwards in this world.

You have to start somewhere and good weather today to test. I'm still surprised that the Tuff factory likes 18" of setback for there hulls in general. Seems like a lot, but maybe not.

Lets see... 2 pieces of 3/4" clear plexiglass 30'long x6' tall, sides, 2 pieces 8'x6 front and back. 1 piece 30'x8' top. Glue together, drop over rig, perfect trophy case enclosure,, go buy another boat to put in salt water!!!!! That engine looks great on that boat. The G2 wouldn't be my choice .. Just from an astetic standpoint ,,,,
