Thanks Alldodge
I guess every state/country is different, Australia we seem to go off manufacturer recommendations as a starting point.

I think USCG requires a plate in all boats stating, max peeps on board, look for it

I believe that plate is only up to a specific length. I want to say 24ft??

My 33 has a plate it's at the helm

Side note.....it' not a cig soooooo ya

Is this thread not about a TG ?? with multiple skanks on board.......lol and not a bow rider

I believe for the 38 cig is' two guys +6 hookers or two guys + 4 fat chick's

And in the end its one guy and a wife.....you know who im talking too my buds

Is there a difference between a wife, a hooker and a skank? All the same over here.......and there's no such thing as a fat chick.

:worthless_without_p

:party-smiley-004:

My velocity doesn't have a plate.

Ronnie, you been drinkin again?

....and some random pics

Of course. ....what else is there to do when you are not working......

Engines will turn 6200 the props that I ran were 17.5 x 33’s not sure what props are on it or why they have been changed... that boat should be running mid 90’s.

Not sure where the power steering fluid is coming from... maybe check the connections at the cooler, I believe those were new hoses I but on.


Crowfoot I’d be more than happy to come over and get this boat dialed in for you guys!!! Have and vacancy at the Candy Mansion...???

Yeah looked high and low, couldnt find anything.

Ok will thanks will throw the 33's back on and give it go. will be a good bench mark. How many people and how much fuel did you normally run with? Also how far did it take to wind it up too mid 90's.. a mile?

Always plenty of room at the Mansion cant hurt to ask :)

at the risk of derailing this thread.

Damn ....

You can derail anytime you want!!!

... alright!!!

What was top end? @ 14% that puts you above 100+?

97 was the fastest i remember seeing on the GPS, a buddy of mine said he saw 100 but he was doing a lot of drinking that day..

Just curious, what size blowers?

1271's

Video as requested.

There was some good in that video ... but boy was there a lt of bad unsafe things in that video.

All within our local laws but I hear you..

Riding on top of the seat as you are driving is not good let alone with that many people on board. Drop the seat and stand with two feet on the ground. One wrong wave and you are done. I was once told it's not the waves that you see that get ya it' the ones you dont.

Whilst I agree with the safety comments above, I think we should all leave him alone. Don't want to discourage him from posting videos.....:D

RR likey video :D

Yes learnt that lesson already :) got engine leash sorted as well

Cool I didn't say it to be a dick. When out on the water having fun and with that much tail on the boat i can see how it's ez to not think about things. Just don't what to see something bad happen thats all. I was running to an event here called island fest and was so excited to get there I didn't see that my brother inlaw was sitting up on the engine hatch with his feet on the seat and holding on to the front grab handle. We where booking it in some choppy water airing it out from time to time. Nothing bad happened but after seeing the video of the ride I seen how bad it could have been if something did go wrong. I got grilled for it when I posted the video and learned that things like that happen just need to learn from it. I did and glad you guys did too. Cool video love the boat a tail on it .

I think a lot of the issues you are having will come from learning how to drive it properly, while doing the slalom moves you can see the tabs are down way too far, drives not set right while planning or running... take some time and learn the boat. I get the videos and stuff and the pretty ladies, but remember fiberglass is unforgiving if one of them slips when its wet. those pretty smiles can turn into tears quickly while being out of the cockpit at any speed.. I had a mechanic in my boat have to get 56 stitches to close his face.. many times Ive had to tell excited girls on the boat to calm down... go out by yourselves with someone that knows these types of boats and learn..

When posting videos like this on u tube all you are doing is giving evidence to the attorneys, god forbid there is a incident.

Natural selection just thinning out the herd.

No tether on the wrist either. Could have gone bad real quick.

Trim it in a bit.... unless your into the porpose look......yeah the sitting on the top of the seat....maybe a cool look idling out but "tool" look running it that way.

Video had some great shots....love the fog!!!!! Also love the graphics/decals!!!

This ^^^^

Im quite sure there are actually guys on here that would gladly fly out and show you guys how to run that thing. Your boy can pay a little now to have someone that knows these boats teach him how to correctly oporate it, or pay a lot later in repairs.

Oh, and maybe not slam the throttles to the wall from an idle....free advise there. ;)

Black and white bikini's matter................:Score-101010:

Bit more seat time!
