To all that didn't get to see under Wett Vetts hood. You missed it! Craig takes his engine and bilge cleanliness very serious! Also, a lot of very trick parts on that rocket! In case someone doesn't know... This guy is no joke when it comes to his toy! Good job Craig!

Lenn,

Thanks for the nice compliments. Your Check is quite impressive and it will be interesting to see how the 632 works in the Fountain.

I know my 126 MPH pass was not the fastest, but likely the fastest from a NA single. The Skater said he hit 140 early and he made several passes after that so he may have gone faster.

Not me. Even with the prop swap, and further testing, I only managed a GPS certified top speed of 37.9mph.

I guess sitting in the lake for the season and all that crap growing on the bottom really slows it down. I was able to hit 44.3 this spring.
Damned dealer and manufacturer told me to expect mid 50's.

Anybody want to buy a really nice(but slow) pontoon?

The Skater seemed to be top dog, but i did see that eliminator on his heels a couple of runs.

The Skater is a great looking 32. It had a pair of blower motors but I don't know what power.

The Daytona looked to have been running good also.
