I took the new 99 Cobra out today.My wife and went out to run it.Well,as you know,it's got a 2004 225 efi on it with a 26 pitch 4 blade(didn't even look at the brand.Well,I was heading into the wind and hammered it.She took off like a bat outta hell and as soon as I hit 69 on the GPS,it was getting a little air under it and my wife asked(more like demanded)that i SLOW HER DOWN.All I know is that,if she'll do 69 into a 10-13mph wind,she'd do 72-74 with it.I was impressed with it.It is faster than our old one,sound's better,pick's up speed faster and look's better!!!Not too shabby.The wreck we had was indeed a blessing!!!Love them Cobras!!!!!!!!!!
