See there's the problem you were out practicing your driving skills without our knowledge then slipped behind the wheel off the delta claiming to be a rookie!

Awesome pics!

I'm with LC....trying to keep that 'winder right side up makes driving a T boat like a walk in the park lol.

Good lookin' boat Zonka

Thanks guys! Hey, those last couple shots weren't taken until after Dunnville. The T-boat just gave me more confidence to push it to that next level, airborne!

New speed this weekend at 72.8mph in some good chop on monday!!!

Needed the chop to really fly but past 72 it started getting realllly loose, like nothing ive experienced before, and I actually didnt feel comfortable in it lol. Had my lifeline, srp sleeves, helmet, and killswitch all on... It was cold! Really easy to drive up to 71 though, crazy how much that 1mph made and not having a nosecone makes a huge difference in handling

Motor did not have much grip at that speed, if I had photos it was probably just skipping on top of the waves. Add a nosecone and it wont be as fast, lift the engine any higher and no water pressure, have anyone heavier then me drive and no bowlift... I actually think this is close to the fastest this boat can go with a stock 2L 150 and full interior...

Damn nice shots. Could use a bit more trim I'd think :-0

I think you should put a pad on that and a 15" drag.

Great numbers on a tuff to drive boat with a full interior and a 150 WoW. Very cool indeed

Cheers

Yup, that is what you call terminal velocity for your boat! Great stuff. That is haulin' man in a Winder

It's definitely time for more power, love the idea of a 15" drag haha
