I love those things! Was that a 24 or a 28? What kind of power? I know a bunch came with Volvo Duoprops......Looks like a fun ride.....I'd love to take one out in the ocean. I know you can rent-a-ride at some APBA events and actually race.......Man thats tempting!

Where on Cumberland was that footage shot??
Beaver Creek,or the Main Lake between the dam and Jamestown?
Or maybe somewhere else that I didn't recognize?

Byron should speak up about the boat but is was a 28 with Volvo duo-prop. I think something in the 500-550 HP?

Ride was just outside the entrance to Jamestown Resort.

It was a 28. It was in fact Reindle's personal boat. It had and Innovation Fuel Injected 502. It was supposed to be around 555hp. Yes It had te volvo duo prop. It was a good running boat!

The 24's are a lot of fun! My brother and I raced one on the St. Clair River. It was my first time in one and we took 1st!! My father and Bandit used one of the 24's for the Lake Cumberland Poker run and had the time of their life!!

I believe the power was an Innovation 600 with closed cooling and Keith Eikert headers. Am I close on that one Byron? As you can see from these pics the wings do come into play when the water gets turned up. Definitely a cool boat!
