The 368 will have a " little " more power for next years Shootouts. Keep everyone updated. All I can say for now is Twin Turbo

Sounds like a good plan.

It just keeps getting better....... Flightclub I wanted to ask you about your 1st run at the shootout. From the angle I saw it from (finish line cam, kind of straight on at a slight angle), it appeared that the boat was kind of gyrating in the nose. I wouldn't say dancing sponson-to-sponson, but more of a slight motion from side to side in the nose. I had a 28-sanger vee 100 years ago that had twin merc outboards. At speed and aired out you could see the nose almost making a circular motion. First thing I thought of when I watched that run.

there was a cross wind blowing out of a cove that pushed the boat at about 170 and took a second to reset itself. If you slow the video you can see the ripple from the wind in the water when the boat gets a little loose

You guys put on a great show at the Shootout. Your boat looked and sounded badass. One of my new favorites for sure
