I asked John D about the crusader prior to it being up for sale. I PM'd him and got no response. this was about 2yrs ago more or less. i even tried inland ultra and sent e-mails. The little crusader is a kick ass boat.

The run I was on was no N2O @86 with 2 guys on each boat.Not bad for a boat that isn't dialed in.The other Boat has a few more cubes,496, and is no slouch.

Sorry but I never got a PM or email from you that I remember. What did you want to know?

[DEL51]

It was info on crusaders in general. I saw a video of you racing against a twin outboard. I was shopping for a tunnel a few yrs ago. Do you still have the video clip.

[Johnwithjm]

I never had the video someone here on the boards posted it.

[DEL51]

if anyone still has the video please repost it. John, could you let some of the crusader guys in on a few ideas to make their rigs quicker? I know it would be asking a lot but it would be cool to get some ideas. Thanks,Chris

Well I would love to help but my boat is kind of a freak. It has a one of a kind steped keel bottom.

Just saw the thread, been gone for a while. Pics are from last season, just got the new steering wheel and refinished the paint, heading out to Parker to hang out at the flat bottome Regatta fathers day weekend.
"JK Customs" AKA H20 Partystarter gets all the credit for the redo.
