[Pete B]

Protects the cooling hose from getting Kinked in rough water.

 

[Dunbar 104]

I thought it was a skid plate?

 

[Wil Ros]

We will be testing on Saturday in Sarasota Bay.

We will keep the updates. Lets hope it still floats!!

Larry is putting the interior in and we just got our baseline prop.

 

[Wil Ros]

This is what I call a first class guy!!

I just got this on the mail. Woody Bailey is a first class human being. He is a true southern gentleman. He has always gone out of his way to accomodate any racer anytime. Woody, you are the man!!!

As long as your baseline is no more than 92 then I will sleep tonight. Word from Texas is look out. Colby is sleeping,eating and breathing big speed. 2nd place just wont due. New bottom, no brains on the gas and now, a driver with time under his belt means LOOK OUT BIT$H. There is a new sheriff in town!!!

We tested today for the first time and went out with Larry. We ran 92 mph on the rev limiter. We did some tuning then Wil Smith got in the boat with Larry and we ran 94 mph.
The ramp was so busy we called it a day.

 

[Wil Ros]

I also want to thank Ray Delaney for lending us his prop. This sport is made by guys like Ray, a true gentleman. Below is how Ray delivered the prop to us. What a ride!!!!!!

Thanks Ray and Will Smith.

Kinda scary.......:sifone:


Does the 94 mean you're not sleeping well???????

 

[TYPHOON]

I had a nightmare!!!!!! I need to find 3 more MPH. We were only out once and tested only one prop. Time to step it up.

 

[will smith phantom]

when we did the 94... we were in reverse too...

 

[Wreckdoctor]

when we did the 94... we were in reverse too...

94 in reverse, I like, 100mph backwards and sideways and round and round, now that was a ride I'll never forget!!!
FYI for those who don't know, Wil smith builds a strong SAFE boat, we def tested it to the outer limits.

Impressive numbers Wil, they will only get better with more prop selections, George is gonna have his hands full with you guys.

 

[Wil Ros]

The boat now is at Ryan's place to get a new look.

Lance,

I agree, the phantoms are extremely strong boats. Hope you guys can make it down to some of the races this year so we can meet.

We know there is a long road ahead of us .

 

[heater63]

A new look? Wil that boat was gorgeous before! Keep us up on your progress and maybe I'll see ya in Biloxi.

 

[Wil Ros]

Doug,
Come down to Biloxi its been a long time. Ryan is redoing the stickers and Larry wants to do something diffent on the scoop but the paint will stay the same.

I will post more pics once Ryan does his thing!!

Is Randy scared yet?
