    It remains to be seen just how bad it could get in NC and the states along the eastern seaboard over the next couple of days. Hopefully none of the idiots who decided to ride out the storm on the barrier islands end up as fish food.

    Hey wplaine,

    Curious about your engine on your z215. I have a 98 Jubilee 214 with the 350 and bravo III and was curious what the hp was and what your top speed was on your z215 if you have the original prop on it.

    Cheers,

    Kevin
