06-07-2011 12:44 PMI was on a different boat watching, but judging by the way it rode, and the grin on his face it was fun. BUT, from what I hear about the hulls, the fun only begins at 65

Got 1/4 throttle, full trim, props, and jackplate to mess with still
Boat was being run with minimum jack, neutral trim, and a 24 offshore 4 blade.

Mike was just getting used to the boat, but you can bet I will be stone cold sober the first time I get in the sidewinder and take it over 70!!!

06-07-2011 07:10 PMBrings back memories .
When I was a kid the old man ( my Dad ) was into little rockets .
Dad had me drive because I was maybe 140lbs . Way less than the Beer Belly sportin' Dudes I raced . Funny how we had such a blast with 16 -18' boats at 70 -80 mph and somehow now 100 on the ocean isn't that fast anymore .
