C'mon over to the Chesapeake
The SeaDoo being passed at 45 seconds is running 70. We were running 4300 rpm (out of 6400) at that point.
PhilM and I will be happy to show you around.
PS - You may want to spell check "Instagator"...

man that design of 28ft boat, is fast in calm water and fast in rough water. how did you make out with the new drive? I know you talked about it on nascats thread. but I been off line for a month busy with health issues.I hope in march to rectify my issues with the saber 28, shooting for your bay to visit some board members this summer.hoping that taking rocker out of last 4 to 6'' of the hull, and putting another new gas tank this time between the bolsters in the floor. will cure the porpoise, so I can trim the boat, run free of k planes. well with the 380 tabs down 3/4 and trimmed in ,all the way I hit a dragging feeling 80 82. not bad but on paper I was shooting for 96 to 100.I'm starting to think, I should of bought that new 28 joker from Brian. fountain looks good there in the vid.

Phil I thought we already talked about this...I'll be happy to run you in the little boat....after all its only a little runabout...I'm sure you'll smoke me? 
If things behave - I'm gonna try to add full steering in March or April....hope to play with some props too?
Either way .... its fun to run with the bigger boats... makes me a better driver... come on Summer.
