Not bashing at all David, I know you have a great boat, just that those #s aren't accurate. The best #s I get with my 35s are 5,000 @ 90mph and WOT 6,200/6,250 @ 120mph (they're real "stiff" 35s - same 5,000rpm cuise #s as the 36s I tried). That's light on fuel and no passengers. The more weight in the boat, the worse the #s get (slip factor goes up).

I agree with Dale. My numbers run around 7-8 percent also. I just looked up the weight on my boat again and it was 4230lbs no fuel 6 gallons oil. I think the difference in our boats is the rigging, options, tool box. I think it is safe to say Dale has a lightweight speedster. Will need to overcom weight with some more ponies.
Question is where are they going to come from OLD school or NEW school you never know!

It's really hard for me to get accurate numbers dodging Seadoos and party barges running every where all the time. You guys have fun with your rigs. I'm going to add a big stereo, a full tank of gas, six butts and go have fun!

Here are my new tie downs thanks to Tyson showing us what he found. I was able to find them on the web and ordered 4 new ones. I went overkill with 2" ones but I think they can never be strong enough.
Thanks Tyson for sharing the find!
