Less bite.

The boat will handle it fine, but you will catch some air. You need to learn how to pull the throttles back quick right as you feel yourself launching. Then get back on the throttles as the boat comes back down. Its all in the timing and knowing your boat. Only run as fast as you completely comforatable with. The boat wakes are generally 2-5's and come from all directions. Don't worry about about hitting the smaller ones perfect, but hitting the 4-5's as straight on as you can helps a lot.

Just remember its not the launching that hurts, its the landings

Most of the time, I can run 55-65mph in about any water at LOTO.

Exactly. Less blades = more slip at re-entry which inturn doesn't stress the drive. I considered going to five blades to pick up cruise efficiency and opted not to because those five blades aren't very forgiving if you aren't paying attention and miss cue a launch.

Just take your time until you get used to it and you will be fine. Our old resin bucket is pretty slow and most the time we cruise in the 45-55mph range and have a blast. There is always going to be someone faster.. Especially at LOTO

Just like that...

Agree, I had mine there last year and had a blast with it! Ky lake gets pretty ruff at times, so if you ever make it down we can air them out!

And this is why I don't sleep at night. And very true.

Remind us again of your record time to big dicks... Wasn't it like 14 or 16 minutes? You and your croanies are the ones I'm talking about LOL.. Most of us aren't even in the same league.

Your ride from fish n company that one night with us was probably the slowest ride of your life.

Im in the poker run for sure if you all can get the water down below interstate level by then lol. I can't wait for that one.
