28' Skater running 117mph in Havasu

Here's Havasucig running 117mph in Havasu last weekend. The boat still has 3-4mph more potential.

That water looked pretty sticky, a little chop should get a few more. Sounds like it's working pretty good, are those motors still stock?

That was 3/4 tanks of gas, full cooler, and a bunch of other junk in the boat. The boat easily has 120 in it, especially in better water like others have eluded to. We are still dialing it in but so far so good...

The motors are still stock and still under warranty. I was actually running against a 1.5 mph current in the video. This was filmed north of Lake Havasu up the "Gorge" where it is a flowing river. I kind of wondered how that would effect the GPS?
