His yellow stv rr ran 130! I'm guessing 135+ ;)
Weird place for a towel rack , maybe also serves as a transom pickup. Dave
That explain's everything ... :eek:Quote:

That towel works like a mud flap, keeping the spray off the cowling.
Is that a new Todd D mid?
I did get the mid from Todd but it is one of the original Taylors Mids.Quote:

I think an X, set up for that thing might be the ultimate weapon.
Big fan of the X's.
Cant wait to see some #s.
Red Rocket - 30.s yes already and you know you are the true supastar---Quote:

LOL , that was good ... :DQuote:

Great History lesson. I was guessing approx. 1600-1700 with the x, the 10" bobs hydro , Oil tank , 10 gallons of go go , the battery and my 220 ass , The boat is solid and I had no reservations concerning the x and a jacker off the transom for a River /Lake Runner . I have only ran it a few hours, and yes it drives very well ,and I really like sitting down in the pit and not getting air blasted . I would be interested in a open fairing for the trunk. Great info!
Thanks!
Brent--you will love that boat-no bad habits at all-pulls the nose down about 115 and runs on rails...never put a big wheel on it and let it eat but had it in the mid 120s a lot with no issues...that thing should be a beast with that motor...i'll let you know about the rear fairing as soon as i hear from andy-they went to miami for a big birthday party and haven't made it back yet ???? .........greg
talked to andy-fairing mold is long gone-it was at our buddy john's house and was destroyed in a garage fire--sorry....greg
How is the hydraulic steering feel on that small of a boat at those speeds?
I can't feel much of difference at all compared to others boats I have ran with the same set up.
I was just curious because you see some with hydraulic and others with string/cable set ups. :thumbsup:
That side steering is the S..t. it keeps the motor from moving at all and usually equal an extra mph or 2 !
If you don't mind me asking, what are the specifics of the system you have Scawd?
Marine Machine side ram,Latham wing plate, Seastar 2.0 Tilt helm, 1500 psi Hoses .
great looking boat
