We don't know, cross wind was tough today. Boat jumped over 12 inches in the mid hundreds so he chopped the throttle, he also didn't run out the back door. Guess everyone after him ran out the back door was what i was told. These are gps units so if you stay on the throttle two or three more seconds you could pick up a couple mph easy. Course and setting was awesome, weather not so much. If Skater40 would have showed up that boat would have done another run.... :) There was a F32 that laid down a perfect run, boat had a perfect set and the wind and calmed a bit. Looked great.

They also did a exhibition run at 80mph with predator at 10am, Vern was here on a person invitation from Paul Robison that puts this on. Funny it was rough as shit yesterday in the bay and it was a 150 cruise by Endeavor Marine, windy and super rough water. It's just so different here.
