Went out today to get some RPM / load numbers it was a snotty bay West at 35 knots with 2' white cap chop, I guess its the extra 800 pounds of iron but this boat rides so much better then my last 31 it ate up the chop and the Capt Pats rudders....well they are the S#!t!!! turns on a dime its hard to see in the video but at 28 knots it turned a complete u turn in 50 yards or so Now it put a smile on my son face too!

Great job... Not to nitpick, and maybe it's due to camera lens distortions but, do you have an adequate field of vision while sitting at the helm?!...

I think it is the camera, I spent a lot of time mocking things up trying to figure that stuff out and I know i ran it while sitting and don't remember line of sight being a problem

Beautiful, and those Capt Pat rudders, wow. What a sweet sound from those turbos, gobs of torque I'm sure!

Jimmy you are a craftsman for sure. She looks better than Fighting Angle I didn't think that was possiable. Any pitures of the interior yet?
Are the engines turned down HP or 380hp ? Looks aswome. Nice job

Interior guy screwed me over but everything else is done, So far so good at 380HP will see with the new props, I has to go from 21 x 23 to 21 x 24 with 80% cup
