292 "White Lighting" Top Speed
#22
You can't get an accurate reading on speed in the river the current runs 4 to 8 knots and it sounds like it was in full swing Sunday. Jeff I will offer my services to go for an ocean run and I have a hand held god that records top speed so we will have proof.

Ill take frank out for that run!
I have no doubt Ill see 80 especially in salt
Salts faster. Reference the salton sea! Fastest place on earth to run a boat
As I stated that day only ran a best of 76 on the way up the river , head wind current etc
Back down near petzolds 81 mph sam near pratt
Just past essex not a boat in sight slight chop from wind saw 83
No doubt down river helped bit it was still 83!
Which way was justin running?
I think justins boat could hit 75 easy with the right weight trimmed out perfect conditions
I wont do it when pushed, so dobt be dicks thats when sh it goes wrong
But I dont mibd going out hanging out and making some bonzi runs if its all about having fun
If its about being di cks. Stay home

I have nothing to hide I told you azz chappers I only ran 76 on the way up so why the doubt?
I could care less it runs what it runs on any given day
If I cant trim it all the way out it wont run that number openly admitted that over and over but if I can without it getting squirrely it will deffinately run the number
