Its an amazing cove and the slip for the place we stay at there is on dock 2 which is super deep. Great place to be off the main channel for sure. Heading back and staying there for lake race at the end of the month!

Must just be the boat. I'm 6ft 1. I like standing up tall to see all the waves coming to try and make the ride as smooth as possible. When I run the boat in the shootout I have to crouch down really far because I dont like sitting in my seat as its just a little too low for my liking.

Saturday, Weather was good until the storm rolled in, decently cool and got out and ran pretty quickly once they started. Tried some different things with my trim and was bouncing off the rev limiter, but the boat was setup well. Sounds like I need to do some labbing with my 28 or move to the 30 and lab it. 75 MPH

Sunday was hot. Decent wind out there while waiting to run and I kept having to fire up and move etc and I think the engine was just a little heat soaked, but was still happy with 74 on Sunday, also had some extra fuel this day.

Had a friend of a friend who does some drone footage follow us out on Sunday and got some great vids.

I always hear all the boats running out there and wonder what mine would sound like. Had the wife take a video of me heading to the boat ramp Monday morning to come back home and I was impressed . Sorry if I woke anyone up out there at 6:40 AM on Monday..

Thinking about selling the boat. Ive tried looking up what these are around about worth, but the scale is so large, I am not sure what I could get out of this. Also thinking about taking it to LOTO to have it brokered, but curious on others thoughts here as well.

Talk to Eddie @ Big Thunder they are the Fountain dealer at the lake Im sure he could broker the boat if you go that way, or give a pretty accurate value

Why selling? You put a lot of work into that boat?

I used him to broker my last boat, so he would be my go to there. For some reason I wasnt sure if he was still there or not. Thanks F-2!

Divorced last Nov, I have taken the boat out 1 time this year just due to schedules and other things going on. Been thinking about getting a fast car again just to be able to use it more and have it closer to the house and not have to make a whole day/weekend trip to use it.
