    What motor do you have? There was no E-tec in 1999. There was the Ficht, predecessor to the e-tec. The Ficht and the e-tec are 2 cycles.

    Really cool hard top Cruiser

    Title for the trailer is not the issue. The note about the trailer title is just what posted when I put up the link. Just a very cool boat. But don't have room or time for more boats.
