A lot of you guys will recognize this boat.
We recently purchased this from Neil.
First run out with the Mrs., and forgot the goggles!!
Couldn't see after about 65 through the water running out of my eyes, so we pushed it to just over 80!!
Awesome boat.
Couldn't think of a better vessel to promote our business!!
Kevlar construction.
2.5L 280 with a fresh sporty, 15" mid.

Some changes planned for it and hopefully running it in the drags next year.

Thanks guys.
Only had it out once so far and starting to get the feel of it.
Looking forward to burning up some fuel before the season ends.

Had it out today for the second time.
Himagain lent me a couple of his props to try. Thanks Jay!!
With the three blade on Mrs. Rowboat and I headed down the Otanabee.
Still getting used to the boat and how it reacts, we went to Rice and back.
IT WAS FREEEZING COLD AT SPEED!!
With both of us shivering, we still managed to hit a good number.
I thought we just hit 90 but the recall said 99.
Does this boat ever feel nice at that speed.
Hopefully get some more seat time in before we have to put it away.

I never drove it, but sat shotgun quite a few times with Neil. The boat never scared me, never felt flighty, never did anything weird without plenty of warning. Always felt smooth and planted up to 90ish, then it loosened up a bit, but it always seemed to telegraph what it wanted. Probably has a lot to do with Neil as a driver, but I really think this boat is THAT good too....
