Cool, but no thanks.
I wouldn't mind having a bullet or gambler, but with a mild motor. Saving at the pump is more intriguing to me than going over 75mph. Been there done that couple miles to a gallon hundred in gas every other weekend got old.
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Well, there's your problem. I would not own a carb motor these days. EFI motors are much easier to tune. Hull design has a lot to do with my efficiency, too. Get the Ally up on the pad running 5000 rpm, and the engine will sip fuel. Really put your foot into it, and you can hear the engine gulping it down.

All them boys that talk in terms of RPM's instead of MPH's all seem to have one thing in common: if it is blowing, they ain't going.
It is all smack talk and chests stuck out until you start talking about some big water and then....silence.
But, I will admit, it is fun going fast.

Looks like some 280 longblocks eh? From the top, one complete stock 280 dropon, one 280 longblock with some tweaking done inside, and one z-port drag.

You realize we don't have "big water" down here in South Alabama (unless you want to go salt, which I have zero desire), right? Amen to the salt water in a bass boat. I have very little experience in it, but what little I have, no thanks. You are correct, in south Alabama, y'all live a pretty sheltered existence But as you move north, the water can get plenty big plenty fast. I've seen some days on Gville that there were some true 3 foot waves. Notice I said "true 3 foot waves". I've seen a couple of days on Pickwick when the wind is straight out of the West at 15-20mph and TVA is running 150,000 the waves were probably closer to 4ft. That much wind + that much current = stacked up big ass waves. As you go further north and start talking about true 6-8 footers....it ain't no fun, no matter what you are in...

I loved my 280 Paul Nichols did a couple years back. She was a monster! Went to a 300x after that and now I'm running a 250xs.... Probably gonna get me another screamming 280 one day but I need the 3.0L to push my Bullet 21v... Been thinking a 20ft center console super comp hull is on its way in my garage before long Looks like some 280 longblocks eh? From the top, one complete stock 280 dropon, one 280 longblock with some tweaking done inside, and one z-port drag.

I am not accustomed to not having one freaking clue what someone is talking about when it comes to boats, motors, or fishing. That said, what language is it that y'all are speaking? Cause I am lost as a Bama fan taking the ACT....

I loved my 280 Paul Nichols did a couple years back. Paul does great work. Doesn't try to rip you off, either. The rip off artists are why I learned to build them myself to begin with. Been thinking a 20ft center console super comp hull is on its way in my garage before long I know where one is for sale right now.

I understood the bullet and hull design stuff, but the whole "280, horns, and liters" just kinda had me a little puzzled. I knew that it had to do with Ricky Bobby "I like to go fast"... But that is about it.
If it isn't something that I can't take to the service yard and get worked on between day 1 and day 2 (meaning that it is under warranty and therefore I ain't having to do no "mechanic-in" or pay to have it fixed) then I don't need it. I am a little too hard on equipment, I guess.
