A couple of pics of the dash that I updated. I did all the work myself including the lettering. Everything was black before

Thanks for the photos of your boat Sir! You sure did a nice job on it!

I would like to have a big boat like that, but they are way out of my price range! I road in a Cigarette a friend of mine owned a few years ago and those boats are really amazing! You obviously have owned and driven alot of them. I am happy for you!

You from the Barnegat Bay area? Familiar with the turbine boat, Jet Set I think is the name, that thing is scary fast havent seen it on the south side of 37 bridge in a while but he used to run it on the flats on east side of Barnegat by Island Beach, used to see that thing rocket past me when I was swimming my dog. My boss got to ride on it 2 years ago

My friend Rick painted it a few years back. Jet Set is the name of 40 skater. It was originaly Howard Asnesons boat on the west coast Mike Fussco bought it from him. I was supposed to go for a ride a few times but it just never happened. From what Rick has told my it has run 203 mph.He runs alot on th east side of the bay in the shallows. On plain he only needs 12" to run in. He is building a new 50' skater now with twin 3500 hp turbines. Fussco also bought Typhoon marine so he had a closer place to work on his boat. He has a full time mechanic to fix what ever breaks over the week end so he wont lose any water time. His son says he loves the boat more than him.

Man, this really makes me want to get another boat and back to being a marine mech... I worked at a Formula & Fountain dealer a few years ago for a little while so I got to drive all the brandy new stuff.

Any vids of how she sounds?
