I miss all the fun rides :(

Maybe there was more but the the I didn`t know how to stop the chine and it got a bit hairy for me so I didn`t push it past that.

Damn newb..... I got 80 with 4 people on board (me included) and full tank of gas... lol... The first time I pushed it though, I got chine, but figured out what I needed to do to correct it.

Made sure that I was on center before I throttled up... When I got chine, I seemed to have more weight on one side, which started the chine walk (im assuming) If i dropped the tab just a hair on the side that had more weight, seemed to center the boat and would run straight at high speed..

hey guys, love all the ATs, for the walk what helps. is you saw the wheel back and forth. that worked on the baja over 80. but my saber has full hyd steering and no walk. oh I loved riding in Steves AT 33 with the 525s. great ride when he owned it. also the 28s have a nice ride. I will always wonder how 1100hp with a konrad ace would of been in a 28 AT. bet about a 96 to 100. later ART:cartman:.
