I really need to thank Dan Gatto for helping me get this done. He is friends with the former owner and pushed him to sell it to me. Big thanks also to Nice Pair for removing the old gas. Rayzor pushed me in this direction and my wife and I are thrilled this was able to work out. F14, thanks for the help picking it up and dropping it at Boatmasters the other day. Crazy, it's a 2008 with 25 hours on it and the motors.

I was told by the former owner he saw 97 with the 31x14.6 cleavers that are on it. The boat and trailer have been sitting for almost 2 years so I've taken it really easy on everything the first 2 times out this past Saturday and Sunday. My wife and I ran it up to 82mph at +/- 5000rpm for only a quick second then backed out of it. We were told by Mercury Racing to be real nice to it for several hours, use a mix of high octane and 91 octane along with double the amount of Quik clean. We are very excited to have a big enough boat to cruise at 75-80mph and occasionally run it up into the 90's. I'm completely fine if it never gets past 100mph, been there done that. This is just a big cruiser for us that should make all occupants happy with the ride quality almost all of the time.

Rayzor and I took it out the other day and saw 98.8mph with the windscreens down and no current to speak of. This was in fresh water in the CA Delta. We were light on fuel and just the two of us. I saw 98.3mph with F14 and another buddy the day before. We are thrilled with our new boat and the Manning aluminum trailer is awesome also. Hope to run with Nice Pair this weekend.
