so in result you would say i was doing near on or just over 100mph?

Looks like it! Well done. You'd have to figure on around 7% slip for the Lab. Was that on the long straight heading down to Torumbery?

**looseunit225** · 11-10-2008

yeah sure was! and it was against the current i took the run past head works boat ramp held the right handed tight and WOT and than took as straight as of line as possible!

were you in town the other day i rekon i seen your boat going over the bridge?

Yeah, it's funny, running down to there we'd hit 82.5 with two skiers on and on the way back we'd hit 83? Depends on the wind too! Yeah, I'm there every weekend it seems like but that boat only comes up occasionally, but it'll be up more often. Going to leave it out at Deep Creek. My girl lives in Moama but her dog would eat it in a week!

did you use to or still do drag that boat?

i live in moama my self if i had the room at my place i'd let you keep it here!

I started with a Moc 3.0 OMC on it butttttttttt blew it a couple of times so I swapped the OMC off and put on a 245 2.5 with a cut 15" mid and a sporty lower that I had on another boat. I broke the 15" in half the same day I had a methanol burb and set it on fire at the drags! A week before I was supposed to race the Hawkesberry Power boat race so I swapped the modded jackplate off for the 15", put on a spare L & S hydr plate I had in the backyard under the clothesline, grabbed the old 20" mod vp trunk from a 2.4 that was in the shed and stuck it together. Had a mod vp snakeyes cle lower under the bench that was missing the shaft so borrowed, read permanently a cle shaft of Herbie and I was boating again.
Just put new rings and bearings in it 4 weeks ago and ran it in at Glenmaggie, then took the kids out cruising.
It's getting race again in a couple of weeks on the circuit at Yarrawonga then two weeks later it will be at the drags. Then xmas at Merimbula for some social skiing, then back to Glennmaggie!
It get's thrashed!
