Was holding my breath and had the exact same thought...was praying to not have to go swimming.

I think that is actually the E-Ticket that ran in the Shootout, not the Wozencraft boat.

UNLEASHED is a badass boat, right up there with the rest of best of them. Awesome run as well!!!

The Gladiator is based off a 38' top gun but they changed quite a bit more then just cutting it down. Plus Unleashed is a 1 of 3 Canopy and the only one with cool side scoops feeding the bilge! They measure 36'11' from tip to stern and over 40' to the back of the props with an 8' beam. Not sure on exact weight but in the 8000-8500 range sounds fair. We are still working on dialing her in only tried 2 sets of props so far but it handles, corners, and cuts through the slop amazing! I will edit up lots of Go Pro footage this winter!

Oh. I thought they were the same boat. Lol. Anyways yes, he was running with the 30 Skater that your wife ran, which was to my port side and a ways ahead in the video.

Had to stop and clean his britches after that....but then a minute later he came screaming by again. That thing sounds amazing, and I'd never have guessed it was a 140+ mph boat.

Yes, most of the Top Gun winners are still pulling thru the speed trap. .

I've been checking out that E ticket for the last year or so. Thought it was a cool idea and was amazed at the 140 mph but the design scares the crap out of me for our LOTO. REALLY glad that video did not prove me right. He was WAY to close to seeing God right there.
