I've got a 2550 RCW tri toon with a 250 verado. Mine can't be that much bigger overall than yours, yet you get 20+mph more out of it than I do?

I need a vice president and a campaign donation? (and no the world ain't ready for Gus)

Leave it to you to bring in the politics..........I can assure you of one thing, we would get back to the grass roots that this country use to be based on!

You think we can park the Skater at the White House and get weekends off?

Look us up the season........over on Crazy Eight in the holler! Houseboat name is Illusion.

Went to Lee's Ford with 10 on board last year and ran 49mph on gps. Does yours have the performance upgrade on the toons? It made a huge difference on this boat over the other one I had and it turns like a vee bottom at speed!

Will do.

I didn't get mine till late in the season last year, and spent a little bit of time playing with props and motor height. I'm currently running a 15P prop, which allows me to top out at 44 and change, no matter how many people are on board, and how much fuel is in the tank. I've got all the performance package upgrades possible. But, with the front and rear extended deck layout, it's actually 30+ft long, and with the extras like the 60gal. fuel tank, it's close to 5000 lbs.
I was told to expect low-mid 50's with it by every dealer I talked to. I added a smartcraft mercmonitor to it over the winter. Hopefully it can give me some further info as to what's going on with it.

hijack off. back to skater talk.
