[Instigator]

Congrats Shaun. Well done.
Proves what you can do when you set a goal, have persistence/Patience and attack it systematically. Do we have a new "Ultimate Lake/Pleasure/Sport" boat in town??
Good job Shaun, I'd like to see that.

Way to go Mr.Torrente!

That's a nice stretch of water to let it fly. I bet the conditions on the bay were SWEET.

What RPM are you turning?

Thanks!
