For sure. Especially now that Mercury finally admits that it's 1350 is actually 1700+.

15:34 to 15:38 I can not believe running like that while basically blind from the water. I guess if you can't see, you know they are still in front of you and not stopped?

Also, what was in the water at the 19:34 mark that you ran over? Looked like a small mooring buoy or a beachball.

Awesome video.

So glad you guys were able to get the feeling that we have when running all out. Believe me there wasn't an ounce of power left in our boat. We love that you guys picked up the the nuances like tail spray killing visibility, the boat sliding on high speed turns and the sloppy windswept conditions blowing both boats around. Just think thats only 4 laps out of a normal 12-4.

2013 should be a super year with Gasse/Geico /Qatar/Cintron all pushing hard for wins.

Happy holidays

I really loved the way your pilot took the tightest inside line of all the boats on your turn buoys, well except for right at 12min when they closed the door on the inside line and made you take it wide through their wake to the outside. WAY TO GO!!!
OMG, that would just have to be a ton of fun competing out there.
Good luck next season and make that Lil Lizard pony on up for some of that new power, LOL!!!

See ya,
Kelly
