That was GREEK LIGHTNING's old boat. He only had it for a few months. It has been through a few people since. I think it mostly ran 108-109mph and JT had it at 111mph once. I have no idea what they're asking for it.

I'm not really sure. A lot of people say the #6 Guns don't handle well becuase of the additional weight in the rear and some say they handle fine. I've seen where GREEK LIGHTNING says that he liked the boat and the only reason he traded it was becuase Cig got a pair of 1075's for a 42X and I've seen him say he only kept it 4 months you can figure out why.

Heavy Metal Thunder ran 111.4 on GPS with 4 people operated by a very experienced driver. The boat was a handful!! I liked it so much that I kept it for a whole four months. No amount of tuning or dialing in with that power and set up would get that boat any faster. Believe me, to get those #'s in that boat, several experts put there heads together. It ran those #'s once.

You can see how our #6 boat runs compaired to Kevins (Out of Control) boat in a SCOPE video run we made....we ran next to each other for the video...Ours runs great...the only reason I will sell ours is to get a RR...
We had it at Havasu last weekend, could have given you a ride...
Anytime you can make it to the left coast, I'll get the scope guys together for a run...

thanks for the info. LS how dose the boat look in person? dont the number 6 guns with big power sit alot lower in the water also due to the weight? if i recall ive see a pic of heavy metal thunder sitting and it sat lower than any sig ive seen b4!
