Default Keep up?

Hi, I am wondering if I bought a shockwave 36 but then put a .45 in it and a better prop, could it keep up with a miss bud with a .21 on a choppy day with 14mph winds taking into account that i could also buy and aqua jet and put a .21 in it and then buy a tuned pipe and a metal prop could it keep up with my friends shockwave? Taking into account a the wind and chop. Is the aqua jet a good boat? How good? Very good or just okay? What about the miss bud? do you think i could get 33 mph out of the aqua jet with the above setup? What about a Prather Funcruiser?

Lots of questions there, let's take them one at a time.
You're talking about basically 2 hypothetical boats. A .21 has been shoehorned into a few Miss Bud's but no .45's placed into a SW 36 that I know of yet but I suppose that someone is trying it. The choppy water that you are throwing into the mix makes a difference with the Bud as they don't like rough water. Take into consideration the particular powerplant that would be inastalled in either boat, a sport engine or full-tilt race engine. See all of the variables that we have just so far?
The Aqua Jet is an okay boat but I wouldn't put a .21 in it, the plastic hull is just too weak.
The Fun Cruiser. Here's where you get my honest 2 cents and my opinion only just like my signature says. I feel that the Prather boats are way overpriced for what you get.

So, do you want this deleted or did your friend get his answer? It's time to change your password then so it doesn't happen again. Once they have it, they could log on at home or somewhere else and get you into trouble and maybe enough to get you banned.

And, if you use the same password on other systems, change them too. Let this be a lesson that no matter how friendly it may seem, sharing passwords is a bad idea. If he wants to use RCU, let him get his own id.
