Jaws Boards part 2
Steve K and Brian checkin the OG to the new ones. Talked to Steve yesterday , its been a bit of a bummer , him moving , I miss my amigo, and neighbor .
These guys are running 2 1/8, but both KP and I think that just a tad thicker, but still thin- say 2 1/2 to 2 3/8, would give these guys better drive and speed on the other 364 days of the year, besides that best day. Hey, I'd make it 1 3/4', but that's the limit if you want the hull to be a hull, and you had the juice to drive it. BJ
