You definatly had your hands full. Looked like you got some some bad water on a couple of your runs too.

WE were loaded and ready to pull out for the opa race in new york when it was cancelled so we made a right turn and went to loto we were not really ready to make good speed runs.
For some reason the boat was off what it can run it will run 92 any day but not that day we have run a best of 94.7 in cold air and 2 foot chop straight on.
We will be at loto next year with a 588 ci 14 to 1 tunnel ram engine along with a few other mods.
Im putting the big engine together because tyler crockit is building a bigger one for the joker next year let the games begin.
We will see if we cant get here over 100 and make you guys proud.
Next stop opa race solmons island then orange beach for opa worlds.

Fireboat crossed on me once... I can't blame it on the water tho. I had 4 shots and couldn't drive it

Props spinning out yesterday and ran 82 w/out trying w/wife and dog into the wind and mufflers closed.

Did you make any other changes to help handling while spinning in?

How about NON-SHOOTOUT velocitys. How many if any velocitys in general boat there. I hope to do several trips down there this comming summer. The house we stay at is next to the hurricane deck bridge. Right in front of the old shootout starting line, now the end of the slow down lane. Just currious, would like to see some other velocitys in person. The place I got mine has a big 41 or 42 footer for sale and got to check it out. Still above my pay grade but cool none the less.
