GREAT long run!! My lake is only 1.5 miles long, so my WOT runs last seconds, not minutes!!

How far is it from the Z-brige to hooters on the bay. Miles and ride time.

this run was around 5 miles or so. we have a 12+ mile stretch to run WOT.

from the z bridge to hooters is around 9 miles. 2 miles or so of that is no wake once you get to bay city. all of bay city is no wake except for 2 small parts. from hooters to the bay is another half hour in all no wake.

It has dual cable steering installed by the previuos owner Chucker.

I wasnt able to do many long runs like that, I was haunted by a fuel delivery issue most of the summer. Why I waited til the end of august to remove the intank fuel filter one will never know.

I think we hit 57 on the GPS, I am not real concerned with overall speed, it it a fun boat to drive.

That darn "No Wake Zone", had to slow down. I could watch an hour of that, what a great day on the water.

Illmattic, need to have some video taken of your boat from another. I think it would be cool to see now what these boats you've run with get to see.
