Would love to have this boat on LOTO. Rode with Kelly last fall at Harbor Hop on his Tiger and they just eat that lake up. GLWTS!

That looks fantastic Rob. Did you do the install yourself? What was the process?

Got to run in Tiki lees shootout, my 2 passes were 90 and 92 respectively on a 3/4 mile course.. i was heavy on fuel from my own miscalculation the day before. but im still happy with results for a supposed "old" hull... speed by the start boat was 50 max, i went through each time at about 45. sorry for the vid quality... bill at wmf took it while waiting to run his mti

Cool boat man. What are you dreaming up next?
Can you compare the ride of a step vs non-step hull 42 Tiger?

Thanks Andy, to me yes the straight hull rides smoother. the first step tigers had a cog issue, then when they staggered them it became worse. then they redid the hull to the 42Xits just my opinions that steps run faster at speed but take more to plane until the boat becomes "unstuck" which is why they were harder on drives. to me the ride of a staright hull is better than a step, but thats just me.
