Hey David,
You didnt notice the paparazzi behind you while getting on the freeway at the end of the day? My sister who lives in Pickerington had a sighting. She called and was all excited she was following a skater while getting on the freeway. She was taking some pics with her digital camera. When she said skater, I knew exactly it had to been yours. She was surprised I was able to describe it and new which boat it was.. She said it looked good under tow!

Looks great

The center 2 engines are mounted 3 inches higher than the outside ones and as a result turn higher rpms, Sometimes the use of higher pitch props can take advantage of this and add to top end speed.
