Talking 42 lightning 139mph!
Just got back from the lake havasu pokerrun with the fastest v-bottom there. New 42 lightning with 1075 sci's that tested at the factory at 139.8 mph. At 130mph you could let go of the wheel and the boat ran straight and stable. Absolutly incredible! We tried to play with some boys from OL but no one wanted any part of it. This is by far the most fun i've had in a boat.

changed my mind I think I would rather test ride that one instead of the one with 700's.
Sounds like everyone had a good time down there.
