Ran 109.0 mph yesterday
 
The boat felt great. Ran 100mph @ 5,000 rpm's with the drives trimmed out 1/4-click (1-click is WOT) and 109.0 as soon as I trimmed it out.

The conditions were not the best for a high speed run; 20mph winds, 90* air tem, 80* water, 83% humidity, 3/4 tanks (~150 gallons), 653' elevation in fresh water, two people including myself, full coolers and everything else I carry during the summer. There was definetly more speed on the table, as soon as I trimmed the drives, I ran out of lake. Stay tuned :ernaehrung004:

Don't mind the tach's, this Livorsi prop slip guage is off compared to the SmartCraft - not sure what it was.

Feels like 2-4, but I am not sure how close I was the limiter. Literally pushed the sticks WOT, bumped the trim, hit 109 and had to back it down.

It throws a mean rooster tail. This is crusing at ~55 mph with the drives tucked all the way in.

Always loved looking at the rooster tails.

I think this boat was originally built to Reggie Jr's specs. It has odd-ball prop sizes and x-dimensions dimentions compared to several others I have seen. It seems to be faster as well.

It is the boat in the Fountain video under 42 Lighting on the website.
