Brad, 
I know what ya mean. Those suppossed 1' waves were keeping my boat more in the air than in the water. 
Drives tucked, tabs down a little, we ran about 75, and we could'nt keep it in the water long enough to run much faster. My arm's tired from throttling. 
Later in the day, around 5 ish, we went out in a friends 46 Cig. What a difference !!! Topped off with fuel, 10 people on the boat, we still ran 99.
Boat never left the water.
Right after that, we went on a top gun, filled with fuel, 8 people, still seen 86-87. But the difference was that ya really had to throttle the gun. It did go in the air a bunch.
We ran next to the 46 Cig for quite a while, it was really neat watching that boat run those waves. It did'nt hardly move around at all.
Makes me really think harder about gettin a longer boat. The wife really likes that 46, it's just a real "PAIN" to trailer every weekend.

I'll get out there soon. I want a ride in that new Fountain before Bob breaks it for good.

You better get out there soon. I heard those ducks on the back talking about taking you boat for a spin.

Re: Cig. Water AGAIN
You guys are breaking my heart.
Mark, I thought you had duck patrol last week.
If you can't do a better job, I'll have to get Jimmy to do it.
Last week the dog was sick, he's doing better now
so hopefully we can make it out this weekend.
Bob, Did you get the plastic from Ryan?
