We will probably pull the first two divisions with a Sanger as the Super Air probably is a little too much wake for those divisions.

Please stop bumping this thread. If it falls down the list, it falls down the list. That's the way the forum works. People's interest in a thread is what keeps it near the top, not bumping it. Thanks.
