Always the same people dragging every thread down by trying to start $hit with others.. Why don't you try and stay on the topic of this thread, instead of taking pointless shots at me?

I still think it is great, but stop the madness. There is no v-hull in the world that is planted and in control at 180 mph

During testing they had to "have control" multiple times due to fishing boats, jet ski's.... so it is in fact controllable at 180mph. You can steer the boat, as they ran 182mph in the wind.

So is the GPS not accurate, or is the 180+ just for a brief moment?

Michael

GPS is accurate, last run was aborted when Brian felt the vibrations. After getting back to the trailer, the props were broken and one skeg was pretty damaged, all from debris.

Congrats to the OL camp, impressive to say the least. Looks like they ran right by Reggie's house on the river. I bet their will be more than 20 people there tomorrow!!! Brian and Joe, be safe on the run in the morning.
