So, it would be a LONG way from the driver sleeping.

Never fun to hear this stuff...especially when someone has put so much into these boats! I'll keep an eye around Sandestin for anything fishy!

Just out off curiosity,,,,,,,,,electric impact wrenches ??????????????mmmhhhhh,,,,,,,,,Who told you that ????????????
It takes 3 people to pull a #6 with a ratchet about 10 MIN. tops.

I think this boat was involved in a pretty public spin out a few years back when it was brand new. I recall seeing a write up in Powerboat (I think?). Super sweet with amazing details.

why is that strange?? i use my 18v snap on to change mine from side to side... they come off in less than 10mins more like you could have them off in 3 mins..... we use a fork lift to move them around....coming off is easy.. putting the plug in one back on is a PIA

That was at LOTO a while back. Maybe 2002? I saw it out in front of the Horney Toad. Was not a bad spn and they were not at speed. I would guess maybe 40MPH at tops. Just a slow spin. Some one said that the skeg broke off.
