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! |

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!

| Post subject: | NEW TOP SPEED |
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

That is haulin' man in a Winder
