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!

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!

If I can take a line from a great movie you and JT drew first blood. We were content just running around Miami LOL!!!! All in good fun. It doesn't change the fact you have the nicest 308 out there with some really cool stuff if I say so myself. Guess I have some more work to do on my set up as well........

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

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.
