[Jraysray]

Got a little sideways!

Any landing you walk away from is a good one. I saw it in person.
IT WAS A 6FOOT WAKE!!! Nice work Jim!

[duckhunter]

Good recovery!

Did it accelerate up to 84mph while the strakes were out of the water by any chance? :biggrin.:

[BUIZILLA]

Good recovery!

Did it accelerate up to 84mph while the strakes were out of the water by any chance? :biggrin.: no, there was some squid underneath trying to measure my inner strake termination point, and shaft height though, I had to lay it over to not hit his head... :kingme: made quite an impression with the dock watchers :worthy:

Holy Crap. Not for the feint of heart

Buizilla, sorry that I did not get to meet you at the show. I admired your boat from the dock and when you were running. I had the pleasure of hitching a ride on Berts Fino, definitely a highlight of our trip! Now it is back to reality and the cold weather of the midwest. Will summer ever come back to grace us with soft water?

[bertsboat]

It was a great show for sure. Maybe the best ever. Rain and all.
The rain just allowed us to get to know some great people even better.
Jim is a sport and a great boat driver I might add.

Jim's a pretty big guy....some ballast in the passenger seat would keep her straight in the air ! :yes: :worthy:

[MDonziM]

Quick 1/8th turn of the wheel to the left upon takeoff, that's what would help with the I/O torque steer.

[BUIZILLA]

this boat has ZERO torq steer, I mean ZERO :worthy:

offsetting ballast would be helpful though :kingme:
