Brian, I'll let Jeff know about your post and his boat is as good as he says it is. One of the best sounding engines I've heard. Very unique.

Hi procomp:

I would appreciate it if you can get this message to Riverman re the Viper. I can not get hold of him and have heard nothing back from him.

Hi Brian. Any questions ask away!

Unfortunately my son is moving right now so I can't get the boat out of the garage for photos. Garage is full of furniture. Can I call you tomorrow morning?
