Re: my boat

Nice boat - it must be very fast! And at a great price, too.<br /><br />How are the Smart Tabs working out? Have you tried them yet? By the way, did you consider mounting them further out? I think this would have given them more leverage and thus a more stable ride.

Pretty cool, definately needs a T-top, then it would rock...<br /><br />I assume the paragraph at the bottom of your posts is a quote from some mouthbreather who didn't care much for what you were saying? :)
