I currently own an 18 foot Formula Vee windshield model. I purchased this boat new in 1991 and have a 115 hp Yamaha on it. When I use it in the prop mode this boat can hit 53 mph plus (all the right conditions of course) , but when I have the Jet installed it definitely could use more HP, and I do have a stainless impeller. If I was to repower, it would definitely have a 150 hp on it. I would also buy a tiller open boat, but it works though, so who am I to complain
I am sure that "RiverLiver" will have some say on this, as he and his son recently purchased a new Alumaweld.

Dad, think that if I practice hard, they'll let me participate in the SRC ?
