Are you getting 6000 rpms?

Oh no....you only get one guess

Aaron our young friend....mums the word on WOT RPM.

Looking forward to more guesses....we need to throw a wager in here!!

I'm going to guess a flat 50.  That's a great looking boat though what color you going to do the outside in.

48.3 mph when running from down below, 38.6 when on the tower, (only cause you have brains enough not to hammer on it from up there )

That's the fun part, Dave!  See how well those knees still work as shock absorbers...

currently the unofficial-official WOT top speed was 47.5 mph so bob was the closest. i didnt play with the trim that much nor did i look at the RPM, she was a handful at that speed. i feel like she may reach 49 maybe 50 mph if i dial her in but she's plenty fast and scary enough as it is at that speed...

[florida196]

Nice seems like that would be plenty fast on this style boat.  I like the grey nonskid would like some feedback from you after you get some use out of it on whether or not it gets to hot on ur feet.  My original non skid was grey but my boats been out of commission so long I can't remember lol thanks.

My prize is in the mail...

Sweet ride, Aaron!  Well done, and I'm sure she's real close to the finishing touches, then time to drop some reds, trout, and snook on her deck!!!

couple pics from last weekend, took the boat up to the Suwannee River. didnt use the boat as much as we hoped to as it was on the chilly side but we still had a great time. probably one of the best weekends i had up there. we only ran about 14 miles. 7 miles down river and back.





Sadie and her 3-1/2 year old daughter Piper that i love treat like my own. it was the first time Piper has ever been on a boat and she had a blast! especially when she got to drive!




and the campfire, nice and toasty!
