Got a new addition to the man cave. After fighting with the 8' step ladder for long enough we came across this bad boy.
Perfect height and with the addition of 6 new yellow pool noodles for paint protection along with a few pinstripes could not be better.
Lastly had to replace the employees only sign with something more fitting.

Default Backed up another 112mph run today

Had to travel to Naples FL for electronics convention and brought the boat. Lumishore used it for a nighttime display purposes using the SMX152 color change. Lights play to music, or like in the pick you select individual colors. Went with red/blue with yellow in the middle to match the hull. Will post some drone footage in a few days.

Also ran the boat this morning. Temp was around 87 degrees and 85% humidty. 2 people and about 30 gallons fuel.

You've got the fastest 30 with 300s by a long shot Ron! Was that with the wind deflectors up, or down? Lol

Pete tells me they lose 1-2mph at 100+ when they raise the wind deflectors on an outboard 30 at WOT. Can you confirm or bust this myth?

I can. It is as he says if you put them all the way up. However because the deck is so high and you can barely see over anyway LOL I leave them at about a 40 degree angle and they still work pretty good.....
WIth that being said I did not really see any loss of speed with my 28 and the small windshield that Carmen made for them.

Sorry, It was with flaps down!
