Yes, Bob McCoy.

Actually Richie did say 4 MPH for the windshield I sh it you not!.LOL

I have low water pickups on the hull already so I can jack it to the sky~!

I didnt have my GPS hand held with me and I wasnt planning on running it hard the first day out with new lowers just ended up that way So kiss my AZZ.LOL

I dont know of anyone who raced an OB 31 Only 31 spirit I know of that raced was GA!

I figured Highlife would be here by now too, hes MR. 300x or maybe Jimmy knowles.

To be honest its the first time I even had the smart craft on RPM I am usually keeping and eye on water temp.

I rarely push the boat. I dont want to break it, thats reserved for the drag cars!

If it really is 4 mph than you should rig it up so that if u want to flat out run you can pull some pins take the windshield off, change the props and Ur off to the races

thats a good Idea!


My luck it would bounce off and decapitate me though.LOL

Would be cool to be able to put it on and off easily but I like it for poker runs because I can actually talk to people and have a conversation while running the boat.

looks like the rev limiter at least in 2003 was set at 6800 RPM

Mine are 2005's so not sure if there was a change
