Blows my mind. I watched the run, he was lifting pretty high shortly before the traps. Here's a vid from before...


Congrats

So you're supposed to ride one like one of those Banana Tow dealies????

I couldn't even imagine trying to drink a Beer at those speeds....you'd get a lot of foam

Nice. Tailwalking a pontoon.. I wonder how much faster it would go if you added some compression the the hull?

I'll have to find out if anythings been done under the deck, or if it's just cross members like other pontoons.

The one unknown, was it anywhere close to going over? Or was that more like a cat and not a really big deal, just something to deal with before it goes bad????

After looking briefly at the earlier vid it appeared to by flat under the deck. 900 hp will make just about anything go fast.

I doubt it was ever in danger of going over during the end of that pass. It looked like that it was just beginning to get fun. The pontoon has no smooth, undisturbed air flowing over it.
