tow rope is not going to do any good if i'm the only boat on the water........
David, do I need to bring the Whaler Tug up there just in case? She's good at towing broke dick jets back to shore. Lol.
Cliff, it's a Ford. It won't need to be towed.

ok heres some video of the test passes, water was still very cold so i didnt even atempt to open her up as the engine never did get warmed up, so i just ran it up to a lil over 5k rpms a couple times, it still had plenty left in it. it seems to handle very well

Indeed, but uncle Don is hull shopping, I told him he should buy a Hondo runner bottom like yours, but he said NO, I want something fast....... think.gif

LMAO, well I don't know how fast mine is but its definitely what I consider respectable for a heavy old lake hull with limited power.
I'd recommend a Canyon in the 480-520lb bare hull range if he really wants a fast lake boat. :smile30:

well i took mine out saturday and discovered a fuel pressure issue at wide open throttle, idling and cruising is good as long as i dont stabb it, as soon as i do pressure drops to about 3 lbs, other than that everything seems to run good and handle good,
