Still testing props.

My little Laveycraft 20.8 Tunnel pulled all the wheels we brought that day to 6K.

We got 86.7 out of a 4 blade 28.

Next step is to try a 30 and swap out to my Imco lower to try to beat 90. Which looks easily in sight at this stage.

It looked like the guy in the jet boat in the first video might have wanted to race you? You should have have him a shot.

I still have it and every now and then I throw it on but haven't got any good top end numbers with it. I don't think I'd gain more than maybe a mile or 2 at the most. The 4 blade is much better at pulling the kids on tubes and still have decent top end.

Been their most years as a spectator but never ran the boat.

None of the them were this nice though.
Funny that most people like the all white because I say every year that I'm gunna put some kind of graphics on her but can't find anything I love.

Vindicator, see post #2. for my all white ride.

AKAboatman, no worries. I didn't even catch that but sounds like a great idea. Post it up.

Although I was not there when it went down apparently he got his shot later in the day and I heard (unsurprisingly) it didn't work out like he hoped it would.

That was my buddy Chris Jr. (or just Jr.) from Lavey driving in the video.
