How does that happen? Just too rough for the 22?

a few modifications put me at about 450 hp but my hull is both heavy and sticky (top speed with the m+ with 4 people and fuel is only 60 gps)so i would believe that you would be able to pull a 25P Rev 4 having a much faster/lighter boat. welcome to the prop guessing game haha

Once you get some seat time you will find that it's a very gratifying boat to drive. One problem is that you can't put anyone else behind the wheel, therefore I don't ski anymore.

Sounds like you got a beautiful boat. I,ve got a small river rocket my-self, that gets squirrely at higher speeds. I do testing with the boat by myself, on a calm day, while wearing a life jacket and the tether switch.
When friends and family are with me, I gently cruise the river, and enjoy the scenery.
There is a place a time for it all, just pick the right time and speeds for the occasion.

Yup. We were tied up about 2/3's down the course and he came past us chine walking horribly. Instead of backing off and letting it settle and try again on another run he tried to drive out of it.

If your discussing the black boat that wiped out at LOTO. I believe that is a 24' Cigarette not a 22' Donzi I could be wrong. Hope driver is OK and recovers to fight another day.
