Now when Christer is driving with double ext. box The boat runs great in a straight line , But in turn it looks scaary ! The best drive for the bat is the volvo DPX-r Its like driving on tarmac with slicks ! sorry little oftopic there ! |
Christer does not push it in the turns or on the straights. Remember, he's to old to get beat up he says
The boats bottom is not the same. Ocke would not advise him to do anything to it and it needed a tune up. I've seen the photos and the boat runs nose down. This is why he added all that weight to the rear and he extended it so far. Poor balance or terrible bottom??? 28' V is to small for a drive that heavy and long without a reason. The DPX will never hold up nor go over 100 like he wants so that is out.
