So, My goal for a while has been a reliable 100MPH ride on a "budget"

Previous boat was a 29' Velocity with 1020hp... It did run 104 mph..
But was a LOT of maintenance and a bit of a handful on our rough ass lake.


I picked up a 2003 Awesome with 525's
Ended up going through the engines but left 'em mostly stock.
She gets 1.2 - 1.5 MPG and I have a total investment of $65,000
Rides GOOD and handles our lake decent .. Not done testing but I HAVE met my goal






I held it at WOT for a good 15 minutes
Temps stayed STEADY.. she runs out GOOD

Congrats BI !

Congrats as well from a fellow Awesome owner! have had mine for 21 years and love it. Does most everything we need.
I hope you will be as happy with yours.

Thanks ! I must be getting old..
I enjoy this cat WAY more than my past experiments

Yes, I'm sure it's a lot better when riding on air and having a steering wheel ! LOLOLOL
