That quite the opposite from the standard. Out has always been the best when around docks.


Wild, you can leave the wife with us. We'll take care of her, maybe even convert het to a cruiser person.

I can run 75 with my 502's. Running balanced 26" Hydros. Have seen better if the stars are aligned right. Seems about average for this setup.

I'm at Monroe every weekend from mid May till Nov 1, with maybe 1 at Cumberland or Loto. Come on over this summer. Might force me to haul the Fountain down for the weekend and we can make a showing, otherwise, I'll be in the cruiser.

Wildman I believe so.... Brookville is a pretty boring place but it's close by & has a nice lil restraunt on it. Us1 sounds like that's all I'm prolly gonna get out of her then if your hittin 75 as yours is stepped & mine is a straight bottom

My 35 Lightning, smooth bottom, turns out, Hydromotive Q4, 28 pitch, runs mid 80's on gps, very stable at all speeds, I think I need 30 pitch for more top end.
