eric Eric,
When are you coming into town? :confused: Are you testing in Springfield because it is alittle closer from the direction your coming? From 44 to the Ozarks is only 1 1/4hr off 44. I know the boat is closer to the LOTO. You really should come to the lake since your coming all this way wink We will be at the lake this weekend, be a shame not to hit "Party Cove" being 1hr from it with a new boat. :rolleyes: You can stay with us and you will have no problem with free board where we are at, 5 min boat ride to party cove and lots of flat water! :D

Eric,Thats a sweet looking boat, I believe you will be very happy with it. I have a friend here that switched from a Jet to a V-drive cruiser and has been very satisfied with it. 80+ MPH should be no problem at all.
