That looks like such a beautiful lake... we always wanted to visit when we were living in the STL.

Took a ride in a 32 SSR on the 3rd. It was the first time in one of them and it is a fantastic boat. Has the same 496's and we were running 75 - 77GPS on some pretty flat water at around 4500 RPM. Congrats on the new sweet rig.

That's impressive. I thought 496HOs had a soft limiter of 5150 and a hard limiter of 5250. How are you maintaining 5200? I'm happy with my 5k max.

Nice vid, and nice looking boat for sure!

Haven't ever ridden on a Sunsation but I sure would like to...that thing sounds fast for having 496's in it

Lab 30's but I think it needs a little more cup or something. We still had more trim left as it kept gaining speed all the up.

Beat me to the hat question!
