Yup and I fear replacement day like a protracted root canal. Super large Inner and outer diameters- awesome pieces.
big enough to let a relatively little 505 make 700hp with no blower.

Whose chasing you in their late 80's early 90's ride?

I think the camera boat is trimmed to high because that is some FLAT water they where running in and they where doing the bounce :)

That's a '98 35' Formula.... My buddy, Glen.

Wow teal up to 98 eh?

Formula is a big step up over a "sticker boat" but never really fast for their power.

Nice day out there, but it always looks smoother in videos.

not sure where the drama in the Formula came from but it didn't look like he posed much of a threat to you.

When you are at the dock how does that boat look does it look 5-6 feet bigger? How do they measure those rides?

This was coming back from Catalina (North Heading) in the afternoon which always sucks, but this day sucked a little less.

Start at 3:50

My boss whose ride was a 24ft center console with a yamaha 250 was having a ball

The Gopro had a full waterproof enclosure but you get an idea of how different the sound it is from a BBC.

The Formula is a good boat but more for overnights....floating condo for sure.
UD I was just warming up. I was running upper 60's and taking names.... lol well, one name!!! hahah

Formula measures swim-step and I think its 35' 3" and inches... The 29 is 30' and 6" i think so the boat length is not too much different. Free-board though is a different story. That Formula is tall.

Nice Video..... gonna try to get to Catalina next Saturday or Sunday...Hoping for good weather.
I shot a documentary about Desert Storm 11 years or so ago....need to look for it. Have some great 1080i HD footage of the first 29 I every had...from a helicopter. I remember telling the guys who run the poker run.... HD what??? Good times!!!!
