35 O/L Hammer Down hit 117 mph

YES you read that right! BIG Congrats to Chad, he just ran 117 mph in 3/4 of a mile at the LOTO shoot out!!! it's been a long time coming, fighting bugs for almost 3 years. this is just the 2 nd time the boat has been in the water after FINALLY getting it running right last weekend. the motors are set so mild they don't come out of vacuum until almost 100...

I help wrench on the boat, the engines have been in and out so many times I've lost track, It was on the limiter or would of gone 120+ He's happy and rightfully so. The boat has more in it.

Incredible boat! We loved all our Baja's and tell everyone that the 35OL is one of the best hulls made, just great boats overall.

I was bummed that it didn't get to run last year but SO happy to watch them lay down that AMAZING run!

Congrats!
