No, but I almost did. The steering wheel held me in. I bent it pretty good though

We installed a pair of T58s in this 38' cougar, About $300,000 + the cost of the boat. I am sure you could buy this one cheap

The brake system works great once you get the hang of it. It also keeps the rest of the boat neet and tidy. Nothing other than the turbins to work around.

Here's few of My Way

The brakes can actualy work as a brake as your running, if the need should arise!!!

How about making an inline Arneson "outboard" turbine??

Just a waterproof cover and then inline with the drive..but all external...think it would work...or just plain crazy? :D

Is it true that you can not really be agressive with the throttles in big waves at all ?? Or are they just for small waves chop..lakes..speed..

In Cape Cod we were running 115 in 4-5's during the race, so the answer is no :drink:
