Nice. Now you are really bumming me out with my boat sitting in the garage all covered up still. I should atleast through the charger on the battery so it is ready :P

Tom - it looks like you are well on your way to figuring out the V-21. What initial numbers are you seeing?

Top speed yesterday was 77. I did hit 80 the other day on a burst.

I'm still breaking in the lower unit and have not installed the LWP yet, so things are pretty tame on the speed front.

It actually works out well, as I need some seat time before really pushing things.

I can say that it's a different experience than the DL. The DL was good and I still love those boats, but this one is incredible from a performance stand point. So far - it's everything people have said it would be.

They are a very impressive hull. They can corner very hard, like they are on rails. To the point you think your skeg will snap before the boat does. I love V21s.

we were just out doing some prop testing for sking. 19 p stainless.

F'ing insane!!!! hole shot. Whiplash zone!

Anyhow - we were doing some practice skiing passes and keyhole turns. It turns like a Mastercraft.

One best be hanging on for those turns, or you'll end up in the drink.

Hopefully out for the first ski tomorrow??

I suspect that you will find your new package more than adequate for barefoot skiing :shock: :shock: :D
