Sounds reasonable. I wonder how they sealed the floor where the lower unit dropped through....?Quote:

No, this is not the accident that took his life. That was a single boat accident just after he crossed the finish line, winning the race.

However, if you are willing to give up a few HP over that Cammer, N/A on gasoline, you could always turbo the hell of one of these and put it on nitro and get close to the power:speechless-smiley-0
