When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: other boats of interest
I was in Clayton new York a few years ago. This boat is owned by Jeff magnusen. I went for a ride in it. We drove across the st Lawrence river into Canada.
It flies. There was a container ship crossing our path. We just plowed through the rollers at 80mph.
The heat off those engines was incredible.
I have the whole run from the cockpit on video somewhere.

Re: other boats of interest
Craig I get around.
The guy that owns the boat handed me a pair of earmuffs for he run. I wore them for a second then took them off to hear the music of two 27litre v12s.
It was deafening. Im paying the price of enjoying noise now with tinnitus. At night its worse.

Re: other boats of interest
Ive had three accidents racing. All related to failures either hitting logs or once the boat broke in two. Luckily I walked away from them all.
I must remember those pain killers you mention. The car accident I had 9 months ago whatever pain killers they gave me barley work. I cant decribe the pain I was in.
