    Where did you hide the nitrous bottle and lines??? If you want to read some funny escapades google Dick Moroso and the stuff they used to do on the Jim Smith "Bushwacker" in Cat Cay for the Bimini start of the tournament. Closed off the fuel returns, Nitrous, etc. they'd get around 55 knots on a 56' sportfish with 8v92's.....and this is in the early 1980's.

    Capt J just reading Gambetica post and read yours on Dick Moroso. My Father had Hull 14 that was the one Moroso ran up on the beach in NC in the fall of 75. This one had the Cummings 903TI only 6 Post were built with 903. Moroso rebuilt the boat and had it for years. He also had the nitrous hooked up. The boat went through three owners before my Dad purchased it. In front of the starboard engine were the lines and went to the bridge and the switch panel was still there.
