Honestly, the boat has to have a displacement draft of at least 6" or GREATER, and to deliberately attempt to run in water that shallow is insane.
Now you can run in the mud, steer, throttle and drive. You just cannot stop.

i don't think any sane person would run a boat like that in shallow water .... especially with props that cost as much as the ones we run today... i don't want to buy herrings or rollas anymore than i have too...

I was in the NY poker run only once, and Jet Set broke before it started. By no means am I taking anything away from that boat, but everybody breaks sometimes, even Jet Set

Extreme Xhibit is not a 190 mph boat. The fastest 32 skater in the world, King Sting, runs 173mph. I helped build the motors at performance marine. King Sting went by Xtreme Xhibit 4 different times until the Nor-tech blew a motor.

i was just saying officially timed records, daves 36 is still the fastest... you get into radar and gps runs and you open up a whole can of worms...
