Are they excessively large or major RPM's ?

Thanks

Congratulations guys/gal! I called you back Saturday but I imagine you were just clearing the tunnel out by then! Good to see the boat FINALLY back on the water, especially hauling that much ass!

Very Nice. It would be great to read/hear the trials and tribulations of the whole project,to what it felt like going 190+mph on the water. I think Byrd & Dee would do a good job at explaining having all these people around helping and how it all came together...Esp without having sponsers or a 3rd party pay the way. It is an awesome feeling just going 100+ but 190+ is truelly a feat! glad you all are safe and set a record in the process even if you are from NJ...top of the food chain...by by byrdie.
