Lurv the footrests. This thing would look at home at Dave's place.

Cheers,

That'd sort the boys out from the men!

I was in Clayton new York a few years ago. This boat is owned by Jeff magnusen. I went for a ride in it. We drove across the st Lawrence river into Canada.
It flies. There was a container ship crossing our path. We just plowed through the rollers at 80mph.
The heat off those engines was incredible.
I have the whole run from the cockpit on video somewhere.

Hey bootlegger, Any chance of posting that video ??
The noise would have been pretty extream!

Ill have to find it and then video it off tv onto my phone. I have no idea how to get it from my phone onto here. I know I can do it on Facebook.

Craig I get around.
The guy that owns the boat handed me a pair of earmuffs for he run. I wore them for a second then took them off to hear the music of two 27litre v12s.
It was deafening. Im paying the price of enjoying noise now with tinnitus. At night its worse.

I originally had this set up with a 300 hp mod vp but it was to insane for a social ski boat , now its 225 .I managed to bust a leg crossing the wake at some rediculous speed , Those green whitle,s the ambo,s give you for pain are AMAZING

Ive had three accidents racing. All related to failures either hitting logs or once the boat broke in two. Luckily I walked away from them all.
I must remember those pain killers you mention. The car accident I had 9 months ago whatever pain killers they gave me barley work. I cant decribe the pain I was in.
