How fast is your cig when
 
you only have one drive that works :(

turns out i can do 9 mph for hours on one drive.

If i can go 80+ on two drives shouldn't I be able to go 40 on one?

oh well it was a fun weekend anyway.

NO. But next time try it you will probably blow the other drive.

little over a month ago I lost an engine in Catalina and had to come back to NB on one engine at 5 p.m. I average averaged a little over 8 mph, didn't want to push it with seas breaking over the bow. I arrived at the breakwater at 10:30 p.m. :( and was able to ramp up to 12 mph in smooth water.

I never thought a 37AT would come up on one. Pat has talked about it forever. I was surprised as all get out when mine came right up (with the tabs down).

Sean Stinson brought the blue/flame Tiger up on one a couple years ago in Miami as well. That's pretty cool that GLH did the same.

If you find yourself in a situation as such; try removing the prop on the bad drive and bring it up. The reduced drag definately helps.
