Great job Hooty ! Sorry I came in on this thread so late
I guess I am going to have to get out of the top speed contest. I can't compete against a Jett [&o]
I saw this boat in person and it is definitely not reaching top speed.
I thought the pond was perfect, but the "Hooty Rocket" needs even more room to reach its potential.
The boat is well engineered and balanced at high speed and did not flip once.
The speed is a testament to Hooty's research and design.
That motor did not hurt either.
Maybe I need a Stingray redesign
(sorry guys - inside joke)
