Lol, just commenting on different styles.

Is that a Superboat? Is Mariner still available in Europe, or is it strictly Mercury now?

Hey Wendi, I am a mechanic/fotographer for Team Hansen Marine. Check em out on FaceBook :)

The pictures look great Zander. I have done some boating in the Fjords of Norway, but haven't done any lake boating. The Scandinavians always have a great Nachspiel after a day of boating (I don't know the term in Swedish)....they definitely know how to party!!

Anyways, back to boating. Lets see more pics.

That Crum is a good looking hull. Is that your boat? What is the Horsepower of the engine? What kind of speeds do you see in it in optimal conditions?
Nachspiel what? Sounds German to me! But we do know how to throw a party. Ohh the good Times i have had this summer :D

The Crum is not mine, it was my teamboss but he sold it cuz we are building a brand new one! CNC-cut moulds and all the latest gadgets.
The Crum had a 150 Mariner Magnum, basicly a Merc XR6. Around 170 hp. Did in optimal conditions around 74 knots. What that is in mph ai Dunno but it was the fastest boat in our class! Do bare in mind that proppshaft must be atleast 25mm under the mossen point of the hull. So no hydralic jack!

Thanks alot for the great response everyone <3

Yes!
BoatSite.se Its there I got My interest in Racing and fast Boats. Met many of my best friends there through that forum :)
And then there is Boatlife.se Ruled by a dictator, mean and angry by nature. Was once on that forum as well but removed myself because one of the moderators Said many stupid things to me and some Other friends of mine.
