Let's see, one wife, one kid, one big dog, 2 or more coolers, 3 changes of clothes, food for 15 - looks like I need the "Sea Ray" edition!

BTW, what does Ruckus run with those big motors??? Enquiring minds want to know...

Ruckus is a very heavy boat (1994 model) with a full cabin and big drives. The motors are probably pushing 850hp at the drives. Top speed is about 90-92.

I have noticed the same thing on my production TS as far as boat wake is conerned. When you get the wake coming from the side it gets a bit squirley. I try to stay out of it, or cross it at a 90 degrees.

Jeff,

That was one of the best/honest explanations of the differences between the two boat I've ever read (should be in a mag ) It's just nice to hear an opinion from someone who ACTUALLY knows the difference.


Havcig,

I'll email you when I get the chance with a fax number to send off for that video. Thanks for the offer.

Tank

MAybe a tranny slipping, pull the dip stick and smell the fluid. Also look at your props, maybe something is causing cavitation

Are the prop pitches the same? Check the Tachs.
