In that super smooth water, it is obvious how the air entrapment really smoooooths the re-entry, and lifts the whole boat when the water it totally flat. No wonder those things go so fast!

I just think its boring to never see a swell. That's just me.
40 footer. That's the Gulf of Mexico which is not nearly as rough as the Pacific 95% of the time, although it can get rough when heavy weather rolls in.

And it doesn't take much swell to get a 150mph cat airborne. Of course you have a Fountain so you wouldn't know. How fast is your boat did you say?

Yeah he would not know anything about going 100 mph... I don't think the bayliner will hit 45mph with everything in his favor.

At that point I think they may have been running on 1 engine.
