No.... he is in one of those bushes with his sniper rifle in constant contact with his bapthist synagoge that holds his strat as hostage waiting to exchange it for his pornstar friend.

I think I still want it, old Flipper and all.    My 18' runabout pry can't hit 40 knots - I think about 42-44mph is all I can get out of her.   Interesting though, my stern drive unit is a Yamaha as well.

Nice boat, with all that weight aft and the short length, I wonder how it would do in rough seas. I've seen rigid hull inflatables do a stern first dive after climbing a 10-15 foot wave at speed. That boat has one hell of a wide beam though.

You really have to work the throttle on those boats if they are not balanced ok in heavy seas, but usually they are VERY stable
