Small movie clip from this Saturday. Speedo read 58 mph on that tiny pond. Small lake (Redhead Lake) connected to The Fox Chain of Lakes in Illinois.

Nice clip and boat. You ever make it out to Blarney's Island? I haven't been there in years but I'll be making a trip shortly to checkout the races. I'm about 25 miles north.

Great video! Man, hitting 58 in that tight of a circle is like watching a race at Darlington! You're boat looks great!

Ok, before someone calls me on this, I'll go ahead and qualify that last post with "Bristol." I'm so ashamed ...

CMK. my old work schedule hadnt allowed me to go to Blarneys island in on some time. I do have a new job with a much better schedule and will be making a few trips this year. Id love to meet up with you.

Everyone else, thanks for the nice comments.

I have a 6" jack plate ill be adding on in a few weeks and some new props to test hopfully ill see a few more mph. If not im also looking for a 2.5l 175hp Merc. That should do it.

I've trailerd my Starflite out to the fox chain 5-6 yrs back on the 4th weekend. watched the thursnite races until the nicest Blown pickel fork stuffed it at about 140 mph and ended the racing for that nite.

Liked Blarny's but didn't like spending 30 dollars for a lience to use the water.

nice clean boat, Don't little lakes suck.
