My good friend has a supercharged 24' Fountain that will run over 90. Its not scary, as these boats are meant to run that fast. Feels about like 35-40 in a regular runabout. I forget what kind of big block chevy his is, but its on about 6-8 lbs of boost. Its stupid fun.

Hey Denny ,
We still have the Challenger, it's got a Kenne Bell Supercharger on it now, putting down 550hp at the wheels

Hey guys, I would like to invite everyone to a show benefiting Toys for Tots I am putting on at Bridge Street Town Center Nov 7th 11-5. Not that this group has any "Mall Crawlers" but if you can come support Toys for Tots and hang out and have some fun it would be great!! We have some great door prizes like a 99pc. tool set, $20 gift cards from Plamor Lanes and much more.

well maybe it is a pipe dream after all, i just read this on the web:
"At the latest, the current V6 engines (dating back to around 1990) will be phased out in 2013, except for the 3.8 and 4.0 V6, which should finished by 2014."

im not considering a new one YET ive seen an 11 with the matching top and didnt like it at all, looked way too much like a hummer

...yeah you could say that I'm pretty good at waterskiing. I walked on to the UA ski team back in 06. Been waterskiing my whole life. Dad skied for Alabama back when he was in school there. Me and him have a nice 21' ski boat, which I unfortantly didn't get to use very much this year.

I think I heard somewhere that only the Saharas are coming with the color-matched hard tops. Although it probably is an option for the X and Rubi. What's next? Color matched soft tops?


P.S. It's almost beer thirty!
