Default Any 928 Boaters Out there?

Well summer is getting here fast and it's time to start having fun on the water. Any other 928 owners have a boat? Here's my Hydra-Sports 202DC with an Evinrude 225 E-Tec.
Top speed is 50 mph and it rides nice and dry due to the high sides and self-bailing deck.

My wife and I took over care and feeding of her father's 1979 Hunter 27' sailboat last year. I'd post a picture but I'm too embarrassed of the condition it's in. Slowly getting it up to full operating condition, though...

Secret pleasure - driving the 928 down to the marina for a sail!

Ex boater here, from the time I was 5 or so there was always a boat at the house. Sold this one with the thought of upgrading, has not happened yet.

Spending less money with the 928's and having more fun too.

I am a proud owner of a 928 and actually have a few boats. Boating and cars are a passion of mine! It is hard to beat boating when your out on the water, relaxing in the sun and just enjoying life.

Dan,

Sweet boat, 4600HP? Extra "0" maybe?

Too lazy to upload a good boat pic, so here's an already uploaded shot showing our 2000 Rinker 21'. Has a 305 Chevy with "Captain's Choice" through the hull straight exhaust that sounds real mean when it's on, but pretty quiet when it's off. Don't use it enough, but has been a great boat.

Default 928s4 Engine

Here is a shot of the 928S4 Marine engine I found. I believe at one time Mark Anderson had at least one Marine Kit that he got from Porsche.

I bet that thing is fast with 4600HP, how do you keep the sails on it at 200MPH.
