Hello!
Hi,
My name is Wilson, I'm from Houma, Louisiana and just bought my first HS V-King.(1982) I just rigged a Merc. XR4 150 on it and my best speed with stock lower unit was 79 turning a big *** prop off a 225 or 250 yamaha (I can't remeber which) but I'm going with a CLE lower unit soon. Just wanted say hello!

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
