We are still apparently learning the new boat and it's details.....like the fuel gauges. 
As stated, it wasn't me in the boat, but Randy S. And Scott Lyons. They did a great job of lifting and gathering her back up when one motor stumbled a bit. All in a days work for those guys!
Scott told me it coughed at 145 and thought it was on a mid 150's pass even with big props. The boat handled the slop and chop all weekend long and was a blast until i had to leave this morning. I was really bummed I didn't get to run during Saturdays runs, but I guess that just leaves more time to prepare for next year!
It was a great weekend other than BAM trying to kill me at Coconuts
and the most important thing is that everyone is still with us and on the road to recovering. Thoughts and prayers to the Fiore family as it truly is the people that make the event more so than the boats!
