Tim is gay, and the fastest boat ever (J/K buddy, it's too easy!) |
80 mile run, 1 hour 7 minutes burns a full 60 gallon tank, trying to keep it wide open. only off and right back on

Actually I drive my boats more by RPM's then speed, which is usually dictated by water conditions... :)

If your getting called out for not running hard then people have no clue. This is of course the internet so "everybody" runs hard. But real life is most dont run even close to hard and if they do, its for a few minutes at best then back it down. As for me, I run hard and by hard I run 90-100% of my power every single time Im out for miles and miles. Usually 120-135mph for 15-30 minutes. Why? because its fun as hell and thats what the boat was built for. I can vouch that every time that Cig of offshorexcursion has is out its to the wood for just as long. The rougher water the better. Last year we both ran side by side with a average of 95mph in some nasty conditions for 45 miles. Both are boats were out of the water almost as much as they were in it was so rough.
Rougher the water the better? Like turning around at boyne while a 33 power play went had a great day so the "poker run" boats could go jump boat wakes? Ok. |
Are you guys fugging kidding us all? Kevin runs his Glad an a protected body of water (Traverse bay) that very rarely builds to more than 2-3' chop. He turned around last year at Boyne because he couldn't handle the big water, fact! Show us otherwise cowboy.
Full Farce has repeatedly posted pictures here and on Facebook bragging about his offshore pursuits. Any pic shown is maybe 2-4 and he is running maybe 50 with a big splash when that waterlogged water turd cuts the next wave. Give it up guys. Five years ago people would feed into your bullish!t. |
This thread has nothing to do with rough water, if you want to talk about rough water that's great just start another thread.
