So my boat was in a magazine a few years back
My 1987 Baron Jersey Speed Skiff was in the Spring/Summer 1991 issue of Hot Boat magazine. I would have thought the engine with the blower on it would have made more than 540 horsepower, but the 96 mph speed is a little crazy!

Yeah, I've gotten it up on its side almost 90 degrees to the water and you can feel it start to slide. The funny thing is that I was still trying to turn the wheel and make adjustments! The rudder is completely out of the water (as is the prop) so it doesn't matter how much you turn the wheel.

The previous owner told me the boat used to have a supercharger engine in it but did not know about the magazine article.
