I had good water at the poker run with you guys, but I also had four people in the boat, two of which had never been over 30 in a boat. I did run 100+ after the submarine stop. I'll be down in Old Saybrook next week one night, bring the gladiator. I'm itching to get back on the water after having a blower rebuilt.

115-118 @ 5500rpm depending on which GPS Speedo you are looking at on my Spectre 32 w/ T-625 Ilmors spinning B-1 34's.

Funny stuff!

I'm pulling away from the 85-90 mph boats at around 80 mph!

I would assume 1-2 mph or so but I haven't really had the chance to run WOT and trim it out all the way. On Sunday we were running in some 4 ft'ers and she was running 78 with the drives at 3 and the tabs at 4, the others quickly fell behind.
