Is that the launching ramp in Stratford? If you go up the Housatonic pass The Dock, the water is calm and you should have plenty of room to run it. PS if you do go let me know I would love to see it run,

It is the Birdseye ramp, Steve. Later on I heard they did go up river and had it at 85 MPH(still room to go higher). Apparently the break in on these motors is pretty specific about RPM ranges, etc.

Yes I was driving at that point. This is a fun boat! Handled the 2 footers amazingly. Acceleration is awesome. We still have some set-up changes to make, but we are getting there.
