Ask James... He`s one tick on the up button away! :o



Boomer,
Blow over is different for everyone and i'm not so sure a Vee would blow over rather than just go up then hook... in my boat i think the high 70's with trim will send it over, sideways and i would no longer be in the boat..

Hey Boomer

Interesting read.

Once again Mitchie is right.

In my opinion - your reckless. Online and offline.

I've run beside a lot of guys (had 1 or 2 pass me doing 100+ this weekend - within 5 ft)
I trust them, their knowledge, their respect for speed and what it can do in a split second and their properly maintained equipment.

I would be staying far away you if we were to ever meet on the water.

There is, such a thing as balls that are too big. A little fear will keep you alive

Thx for the rant

Tom!

WOW!!!!!! I thought we were done,,, you are right i am verrry reckless...thats why my name is boomer,,, 100 mph within 5 feet of somebody is far more reckless that i am in this video!!!!!! enough said,,, i do have respect for the water im not brain dead i understand the risks i take and am not 100% reckless if i am rideing close too others ,,, i'd say driving 100 mph in a v hull is pretty reckless, i dont think i went over 50 mph in the vid, i could of hung on to that shit barefooting beside my boat... appreciate the concern,,, ps i'm looking into a more capable hull and sugestions?

Yup I am with Mitchie. I wouldn't want to be next to you when you take off either a la the end of the video from the cameraman's boat. I can appreciate living on the edge and having fun be doing it safely with consideration for others is important.

the cameraman almost hits me if you didnt notice i got the launch and he almost his me from behind...so how about going onto youtube and telling nakedandfamous how you all feel about our driving...

how do you like your DL ? im looking at one near me without a motor.. i am thinking about swappin the v6 off the winder and putting the 85 hp back on... 225 hp on a winder is nuts i hit 71mph and i am satisfied. I think if i push it any more im asking for trouble (i can feel my balls shrinking as i type).. what kind of speed do you get out of the charger?
......Latly i'v found myself dreaming about 80mph in the winder just too shut up the no good doogooders and haters who told me i couldnt do 70.....

Good setup sidewinder shouldnt be too scary. I recently went 71.9 in mine with a 150 2L so you have a lot more potential with yours. If I had the money I wouldnt hesitate on putting any less then a 200 on the back. My buddy has a 18DL with a 175 2.4L, goes 70.9 and I kill him in 1/4 mile. All in the setup.
