The boat did good in the rough water test, we lost those cameras when we first took off then we ran the rest of the day out there in the rough to see how it handled the waves at different angles.

The weather is not looking good but we are probably going to do a long distance test run in the rough on wednesday.

That ride reminds me of "Thank you Sir! I'll Take another" Ouch!

Think he needs a kidney belt more or a mouth piece to keep him from biting his tongue?

GoPro should warranty those two. (Since there is proof they didn't hold) LOL.

We all know this was a moonshine run. No need to lie about it...

How do the Cummins respond to being throttled like that? Look like they are smoking upon re-entry when they are rebuilding boost.

Are you running them differently in rough water vs. a quick SC engine?

We were on our way to Key West on tuesday to try to set the record from key west to cancun on wednesday and broke a prop. Does anyone have a prop we can borrow? The props we had were custom made and there are no spares, they are 19" dia. 41 pitch. Does anyone have anything big? 17"-19" 38 or bigger pitch?

It won't be the last set you break, they are too big and turning too slow but that's only my opinion.
