Still looks like they getting beat up on the ride. Also I am not the typical hate on a boat brand because I have another brand.

Unless you have run on LOTO when it is all stirred up you do not have an appreciation for the nasty conditions of waves going all over and bouncing back off the sides. It is an absolute mess.

Not too impressed with a 150mph 52 v-bottom with full cabin? You know LOTO is not known for its glass like water conditions right? Wow, Megan Fox is a dog right? :lolhit:

How is your SV43 coming along. Is it finished yet and what do you think. Any pictures of the finished product.

I assure you the ride was very smooth. Hopefully they will post vids from the mounted go pro's. I did my best to keep camera still. LOTO is like no other lake I've ever been to. It's very rough and this boat handled it very well.

Take a look at my ride in the 29 SVL OL....now that was a ride!

If you ride in it, you won't hear it. Not sure why the video has that sound, but with the turbo motors being almost silent, then the wrap around windshield deflecting the air, the camera seems to be amplifying noise. You ride in this boat, you'll want one, it does not make loud sounds, its literally one of the most solid boats. Everything is through bolted and solid and does not rattle like almost all other boats. Panels don't fall off in rough water either.

Yah I guess your rite, never been in anything ruff. LOTO is as ruff as it gets huh, esp in that area of it? Not like I have been in the ocean or boat on the Chesapeake or anything thing like that.. :daz:

I would like to see the vids of the go-pro's for sure, maybe make things less abundant then they look in the hand held vid.. Like I said not bashing a 50ft v that can produce such a great speed, just saying it looks like it took a beating, looked like there was alot of driving going on.

The sawing on wheel just under 100 surprised me too, must be the LOTO water.

Yea it's a washing machine with no rhyme or reason to the waves.

Nobody understands how rough it really is here until they see it on a busy weekend. I was on a 65' Sunseeker getting tossed around pretty good after the shootout. I'll take 4-5's in the ocean over this crap any day.
