I have an Albanian, and I really like it. I'm thinking on getting another one just to keep for a while.
Joe, glad you like your Yugoslavian. They are really something, huh?

That, Joe, is a dream I'll never see!

Believe it or not, that boat belongs to a 70+ year-old man. He made his claim to fame by inventing a trimmable surface drive system for hi-po boats.
That boat is a 40-foot Skater powered by twin GE T-58 turbines, cranking out 1350hp apiece. It cruises at 130mph, with a top speed of 160mph in 4-foot chop in San Francisco Bay. Total cost is in the $1 million area. The fire out of the transom is from the afterburners. I've seen this boat in person, and those flames are about 8 feet high!! Talk about an attention-getter at the dock!!
Oh, well, (sigh)....I'll just have to stick with my 20-foot Seebold tunnel for now.....

You know, it's kinda funny. It seems that the pepole who live next to the water don't own one, but people who live 100 miles away from water do.
