No -not hardly. I just had a stroke of luck. I think when I started this thread I explained it, but it must have been wiped out in my many edits to try and get the pictures up. I was in a wedding with one of the mates in Alabama the previous weekend. He is my best friends' childhood buddy who runs a boat in Australia for most of the year and so happened to get on with Viking for the summer in Cape May and fish their tournament circiut with them. It was their last run out for the season after finishing the tournament year and he was nice enough to ask me to come along. It was a great opportunity and the people were top notch. I just thought I would give them a little free press for their generousity and hospitality. It really is some boat, and again, the people were top notch. Never met any nicer.

Before we were in the soup, so to speak, we cruised at about 32-33Kts. It really flew. I think they said the top end was around 42 to 43 knots. It had some giddy up, I can tell you that.
