Well I don't have the time to watch it all again my guess is either the skegs are cut off or very high drives? Would like to know and wont ruin it for anyone else. Pm me the answer. Thanks

Big motors & long strakes.

Bingo we have a WINNER !!!!!!!!! hallj wins the lower strakes were lengthen all the way to the transom so the boat ran higher out of the water.

Oddly enough I only learned of this last week. Charlie educated me.
But let's not forget the Good engines from Norm Teague and a good washing from Bob Teague. It all adds up.
