Amazing numbers Jim for 300x powerheads, congrats!

I would imagine the boat feels pretty loose with this setup and completely aired-out, does it?

SS930 that shot was taken at 122 so you can see it was not aired out that good. The wind was blowing 15 to 20 mph from the back which was actually pulling air out of the tunnel. If there was less or no wind it would pack air better and would go a little faster. Really cant feel much difference from 115 to 125 in handeling.

What class is this considered and what are the rules? I saw some of these passes at LOTO, looked great. To be fair to the Doug Wright boat, he had 300XS's on it, a huge difference from X's. Congrats to both.
