So my boat was in a magazine a few years back

My 1987 Baron Jersey Speed Skiff was in the Spring/Summer 1991 issue of Hot Boat magazine. I would have thought the engine with the blower on it would have made more than 540 horsepower, but the 96 mph speed is a little crazy!

Yeah, I've gotten it up on its side almost 90 degrees to the water and you can feel it start to slide. The funny thing is that I was still trying to turn the wheel and make adjustments! The rudder is completely out of the water (as is the prop) so it doesn't matter how much you turn the wheel. :lol:

That looks like a lot of fun.

Wow, that is really cool, did you know it was in the magazine from the previous owner or did you stumble across the article? 96 is VERY crazy.... lol

The previous owner told me the boat used to have a supercharger engine in it but did not know about the magazine article.
