    Saw a guy on eBay advertising that his Apollo will run 80-100mph all day long. Think you'll beat that????

    With what your gonna do to her you could probably put Nordic Shitter on there also. Fords go fast to it just takes a little more smarts and Denero to do it.

    I have neither, so I have to keep it simple..

    Joe you ought to load up and head to Tawakoni with us next month. We are gonna have a big time. If the Outlaw guys are coming for it I can guarantee a party, and some fast boats.
