Those boats that Roy did that on had holes drilled in the bows like we did your spinn pole John and the regluar tangs were still in place. Since you brought that up, the converted 6.0 I saw in Ventura (franken boat) had the tangs just behind the front of the decklid. This boat was a 5.8 that was converted to a 6.0. The normal production 6.0 has the tangs just ahead of the decklid.
These boats were not retrofitted by Roy like Frankenboat or the guy from Morro Bay that had a whole custom stainless steel piece mounted to the front of the bows. They were production boats.. Not speaking gospel here, just an after thought of something to check.
You won the border run??? I thought a boat with black sails won this little race...
Sounds like you need to make it to the Tri-Point to set the record straight
