Thanks guys! It really hauls!... some setup still to do as well as a lot of seat time! I haven't really learned to keep it on the pad yet. I made a brief trip to 64.8mph on my GPS... 8-)

Dave that boat is running great especially for an out of the box set-up and no seat time. Bad news is your TOO FAST for T750, so you will be running with the T850 group. Even now your running mid pack speed wise with the T850 group. Your combination should be able to run in the high sixties on the oval. That is where the top guys run. Some practice and one day racing at Waterford will make you comfortable driving the boat.

Like Don said a few laps at Waterford will do wonders, nothing like a little side by side racing to tune the skills.

Can't wait to see it on the course.

Post some more pics from the future outings.

Cheers,

Wow, what a sharp rig! 64+!!

But,...knowing HPBC welcomes folks from all walks,.....you don't look anything like your FBC avatar pic???
We met at Bogbash, but I recall a different hue, perhaps due to summer tanning, sun glasses.
Your true post-hibernation pale glow is evident in the pics.
Apologies for ignorant stereotyping but I thought you owned the FFalls Chinese-CDN restaurant, and liked o/b engines to get cheap used canola oil for 'Woking'. FF residents not known for discriminating fine cuisine palates.
But now, without the look, are you just the delivery guy?...Hmmm, the Alli could enable a competitive water-access delivery advantage over your peers. Think about it.

For reasons of weight, aerodynamics, and racer safety on the course I'm releived your boat is without 4' bulbous dragonhead on the bow through which you're peeking at the course, followed by a multi-coloured 30' fluttering tail, and fireworks. I was concerned how you'd pass inspection.
Pad thai fat chunk!...May your noodle stay firm!
I'm trying hard to be open minded, realize I have a way to go
