If you make it to the lake again, let me know. I'd love to get some pointers from you on the water, as this is my first cat.
You may want to take the Tres Martin course. A little spendy, but so is your life! I learned alot from the course. He is also now offering a free Lifeline vest with the course.

Ted builds amazing Merc 2 Strokes...absolute guru with the 2.4/2.5's in their heyday for power and reliability, and now on the F courses - if you were beat by a black O/B , it was probably a Speedmaster engine. Wasn't unusual to see southern US bass Boats getting tweaked there.....arrived stock, left appearing stock but screamed power, or maybe not even close in appearance to a bass engine - LOL

Apologies for the derail to Tom's thread - beautiful update to your 28'

From where I was watching, you had a great Shootout! You went sideways twice, and both times your instincts kicked in and it was no big deal. Could have been horrible.
