    I put a stingray hydro-foil on my 1995 talari 240z. It helps the hole shots, better stability, and stays on plane at lower speeds. Im sure it's not as good as the smart tabs but it does help. It will not help with speeds or mileage.

    Hey Mikey, Willy has it right, it's about 220 miles and three hours. I work at Whitesands and split time between houses in Las Cruces and Albuquerque. I keep the boat, trailer, and the rest of the toys at Elephant Butte lake. It's about 80 miles North of Las Cruces and desolate by most people's standards, but I grew up in the desert and it's like home to me so.......

    Next time you come through hit me up and we'll grab a cold beer.
