I really like Jeff's idea of offering up suggestions for future mods.--One
other in that category would be putting a larger fuel tank in (which could
also help with the list--this is where Orlando  hits his auto reply and
asks if there is a list). The new 309 comes with a 27 Gal capacity.....or
is this a mod. that can currently be done given the space that
exists......

Regards,

Jon Vez
