[QUOTE="ihavenoideawhattoput, post: 151995, member: 3640"] UPDATE!!!!! 30mph on plane at half throttle!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP this thing is fun, took it up the river and it feels like your riding a roller coaster, after each turn a burp of the throttle and your in the next turn. Each time you burp it on the straits it throws you back like doing a wheely on a street bike. My heart has been racing off adrenaline for about an hour. I still can't sit down. Good: We took on less water, easy enough fix. Bad: I think we ripped rivets out of the floor. When on plane the bottom of the hull looks like ocean waves. Going to take some thinking on this one. Thinking the floor alone might help this. Even better, I am not sure how accurate the GPS is on my phone, we may have been going faster, sure felt like it. IT WAS A RUSH!!!!!! Anyone in the upstate area that wants to check it out let me know we will take it out. Had a flat on the trailer on the way home, a plug, a can of fix a flat, a t-shirt and a light weight coat and we got it filled back and made it half a mile from the house till it went flat again.
