The boat handles great with the 6 drive. In the rough water it seems very planted and safe. I have only a few hours seat time but I will keep you updated. This is a boat that must be seen in person to truely be able to see how nice it is. I will have it at the Hartwell poker run, the lanier poker run and the lake cumberland poker run this year. I hope to see some of you guys there and thanks for all the nice words.

I loved your DCB that you got from Jon. I look forward to seeing the Redline up close at Lanier.

Hopefully Jeff doesn't mind me posting this but here's a link to a feature that a local site did on his Redline. While I've never ridden in his boat, I've been around it a lot and its very impressive. The fit and finish is amazing and it has a ton of room in it. No doubt in my mind that if I decided to get an under 30' cat, the Redline would be at the top of the list.

Nuber 6 is a lot less slip, I went from 132 best with the Bravo set up, running it by myself to 135 with 2 people and full of fuel, to now thanks to Wilson's blueprinting the lower to 140mph:whistle:I will say I lost a little when I went from the MMW to the SCX/SC lower combo, if you want the reliability of a nuber 6 without the price tag, and your not running the drive on a big heavy boat with lots of HP, this is the drive...

Thanks John, I forgot, Larry is one hell of a photographer...

I would love to see a cockpit you-tube video of your boat doing 140 mph...from the drivers perspective...watching the tach and speedo....it would be fun to watch!
