Have surfacing props but I can't help but think running a Playmate as a performance hull kinda defeats the intended purpose. AND... do I want another project?? |

I remember going to Honey Harbour back in the 70's. Seemed every kid had a Jewel with a 33 Johnny. Course we were all light enough to ski behind a 33 in those days... Lol Ya, I've got a fresh Classic 50 as well on the Zodiac. Think a 52 would be way better than those 44's |
