You can still see the wet spots of paint under her.

How fast will she go?
I know she'll do at least, 50 mph, I saw it with my own eyes on the way to Winter Harbor!

Yep, that's me hangin' over the stern hopin' she'll go as good as she looks!
Return
I'm removing the last safety straps to the trailer, and we'll be off.
Return
Reverse gear works! We're underway!
