    Congrats on your 'garage find'! Those will be a perfect fit for your 22. Also glad to hear you're home safe after protecting all us wimpy civilians here in the States. Your 22 will be well into the teens with those 260s (which I'm curious as to why you call them 265s?).

    Very interesting! Now you've got me wondering if everybody's just been calling them 260s for all these years (when they were really 265), or if for some reason you've just got the one year that they were rated at 265? That combo (265/8,000/350) is going to work great on your Talon.......keep us posted!

    Class 7 is traveling 6 miles in just over 3 minutes 20 secs...110+ on the straights...

    You are placed appx 54 min behind class one...

    Randy Davis and Gordon Jennings campaign a 21 Nordic with a Merc 1350 HP motor ....They flat haul ass out there...in a race of their own, we are just in the way. Nordic was only 1 lap back from the winner in 2011.

    If you have twins, this is the only class you can run. Be prepared to drive your ass off.

    Good looking boat, I like the Monopoly theme! It reminds me of my old Speed Racer themed 28. What 2.5s are on it (225/260/280) and what's the history? Where do you plan on boating with it? That's a great rough water 24!

    The tag made me curious so I looked at my 2.5. It says its a 1996, 260 hp, 350 lbs, 7500 RPM. SX those motors are a work of art!
