Sorry I haven't had a chance to call you back this morning. Just been real busy trying to get finished up and ready to go. They did test the boat yesterday, but they only made one pass and then back to the trailer. Mine was the last of 3 they were testing yesterday.

thanks,
the helicopter was about 5 lbs past the red line on manifold pressure, and the rotor speed was at 118% engine speed at 112% and we were at 9 feet on the altimiter with a forward speed of 161 mph in a helicopter that was faa rated at never exceed 150 mph. somewhere on here I posted a pic of the dash, cannot find it now.

What kind of Helicopter? Sounds like a MD 500 w/ a C20R. Didn't know they could go that fast! Sweeeet!

42 Mti's new boat was tested today, we were in some 1-2 ft chop at 82 mph and it handled ok it was a little light in the front end which made it fish tail alot, and anyone else comming down 75 to get here, that 1-2 ft chop was about 40 miles before the florida state line you will need to get in the inside lane.

and there are police sitting on top of the bridge at exit 62 between macon and valdosta on 75, they are sitting on that bridge and the next one and are pulling over every single car that is going fast. one cop radaring and telling them which cars to go get. and no, we did not have flags on the boat or over width signs when we passed them.
and 2008 f-450's with the 4.88 gear ratio cannot go over 83 MPH from atlanta to tampa. but they can hold 82 the whole way
