That is fast in a 24. Jim were you driving or throttling the 24 with Zack?Sorry to hear about your crank.I was looking all weekend on OSO to see your speeds.I bet next year you will bring a spare powerhead.

It was a blast! Jim set it perfect and it showed. We ran once with both of us in the boat, but the extra weight slowed us down (106).

SCZack is that Apache 21's old boat, If so I bet Jerrod is sure proud, Or sad because he loved that 24...

Yep, same boat. Jerrod was out at the shootout to see it first hand.

I think there was a little bit of proud and a little bit of sad. Sounds like he's looking for a 28 though, so I'm sure he'll be smiling again soon.

I was proud to see it run 115mph. It was sad seeing it there without me in it. I will have a hard time finding a boat so clean again.

How does the boat handle w/ the heavier motors hanging off the back of it, I have 280ROS right now & was thinking of getting new motors. Your Options are limitd these days w/ emissions & I didnt want to much weight on the back, especially in ruff water.

It handles great once you get it set it up right, but you've got to get your motor heights right and your weight distributed right.

That picture on my post is at just over 100 with neutral trim. You can see how flat the boat runs.
