Hey Buzz,

I realize riptoad doesn't believe me, and that's OK. I grew up with a dad that believed he knew more about what happened to me where ever I was, even though he wasn't there. LOL I know dad always knew more about the business I did than I did, even though he had no experience at all in that business.

I also see you in your last post question what I posted. All I can tell you is what happened. In fact I was down at Jet-A today, and talked with Mike. I was telling him about this thread. He gave the credit for the set up of my boat to Rodney. Neither Mike or Rodney, both of whom not only work in the boat industry at Jet-A-Marina, but Mike is the service manager, and neither one of them were surprised.

Rodney and I were talking about the new Rangers, and there is a new Ranger "Z" 520 model coming out next year that have been getting rave reviews. I was told on this model at least, they are going back to the original deck design, including not having those locking rails down both sides of center.

Buzz, I appreciate your and rip's opinion, but I can tell you what I saw with my own eyes. I picked the boat up in late Feb/early Mar of 2002, added my GPS unit proably a couple of months later. So I am guessing I had my run at that speed in May of '02. As I've said, I don't run it that fast anymore, simply because I see no reason to.

If you guys want to question it, that's fine. Won't hurt my feelings any at all.

I know I've never run a Bullet, looked at them when I bought my boat, and from the bullet guys I've met online, most get really offended if they think someone is saying their boat is faster than theirs. That is not what I was saying. I am sure riptord has a faster boat. I am positive in fact. I also believe his boat catches more fish, takes rougher water, etc.. than mine does.

Good luck to the both of you.

Danny
