This thing grabs attention. What a nice reliable boat with some serious sex appeal.
I'll let him fill in the details...

Sweeeeeet! Thanks Mitchie! The Venom and I really appreciate this. Sept is my Birthday month so this makes it even better.

Boat is a 2008, motor is a 2002 200 EFI w/sportmaster. Carbon Reeds, Solid Mounts, and flashed ECU to 7200 rpm limiter and +20HP.

Top speed to date is 88mph running the motor 1/2 above the pad with a 28ET. This weekend I am raising to 3/4 with James and trying a bigger wheel. Hoping low 90's is achievable.

I'd like to thank my first wife Sara, my girlfriend Kathleen, James Cole, Kevin, Dave at Aim Marine, the guy at the beer store near my house, everyone else on HPBC that has helped me (seriously), and of course sweet little baby Jesus. I couldn’t have done this without you.

Thank you, Pete

Hot diggity dog! I saw this boat in person this past weekend for the first time and I thought it looked pretty sweet. Excellent pick!

Side note - Garriganp did read that correctly that your best number was with a 28 ET? Do you happen to own said 28 ET???

Sweet! I would love to try the ET. I have a 28 chopper already. I can knock my hub out and put it in your ET someday. Promise me one thing - you won't sell it until we talk first - lol! I call fist right of refusal!
