If I had "throw away" money... I'd get me a 100 mph toon, call up the Farm truck and azn dudes and take them fishing on Havasu.

No way I'd want a 100MPH toon around these parts. I've seen a regular toon heading up river at about 30 and one of those stupid carp jump over the rail and nail a passenger. I imagine it was a rude awakening at 30, could you imagine getting hit by one of those things at 100?

I think you have to pull the motor to change plugs. Seriously though. What is the point of this boat. To expensive to be a fun party boat and will never handle as good as a real tunnel boat.

So in a sense Vic, you have 2 "toons" One is a little more techy than the other.

There's much fun to be had in a sleeper. People spend gobs of cash on fun party boats so what's the difference...?

I agree a sleeper is fun. And I'm all for throwing big power at odd boats. I just don't see it with this boat. But hey if you have the money be my guest.
