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? :confused:

No excuses but I was dialing in my really tall props and he had really small props and motors jacked to the moon! He later tells me the first one to 100 always wins! I'm going to snag a set of 23" props next time I'm in Miami!:angry-smiley-038::bananalove::boat:

Hey Sam, just borrow my hydro the next time Ron wants to race to 100.............he won't even be on plane by the time you're already well past the century mark! :eek:

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 where in Naples and didn't even call.

Sorry Todd was at a marine electronics convention for the NMEA.
Did not realize you live in Naples. Would have called for sure.

A shot from Naples during the event. Set up the lights in this shot with different colors. Matched the U/W lights to the splash wells. Center light was set to minimum brightness since it is close to the surface.
Have some drone footage coming with music interface. Water was not very clear and brown.
