There will be some videos on YouTube in the next few days that crispyspa was nice enough to take of this pig in action. Without a GPS but a keen sense of speed, he figured 50mph or thereabouts. It...

Well, Hooty's boat is a bit heavier, longer, and has a Jett .90 with full tuned pipe. LOTS more power. He has to use a ramp with his rigger as it too barely floats. My biggest concern is if the...

Yeah, I planned on using a ramp anyway. It sits pretty low, but better than the old sponsons. I can shed some weight with some engine stand modifications. I just mocked it up as it was setup...

I have a feeling I'll need to use a launch ramp to get it on plane but once on plane it should stay up. I think I'll either use a TT .46 on a tuned muffler or a Super Tigre G51 on the same muffler....
