Scary, EH?!?!

Damn, there is that dumb Canadian impression again!

The Pulsare is going to a lucky Canadian in approx 30 days from now, unless someone that wants it worse beats him to it. I don't take deposits, I go first come first serve. So my boat'll be saying 'EH' pretty quick!

You have to love the first real impressions many of us Americans got of Canadians from the movie Strange Brew. I think I need to go rent that if I can get it on DVD.

Congrats Matt, i already miss that girl, any queations, let me know. I know that hull like the back of my hand. That boat loves to be aired out in a 6 inch chop, then she screams!!!!!!!!!

 

[Z06]

How fast was it again? I am more interested in the ZT, that I forgot almost everything about it!

My best run, light on fuel and a pretty empty boat was just over 68 on GPS. The air was only in the 60's with cool water also with a slight breeze to give a nice little chop. Friends on the shore say the gaercase was the only thing in the water. On an everyday set-up with the wife and a cooler full of those wobbly pops (thanks Chris)and 95 degrees she would run 60 all day long. Cruised at 50 on the pad beautifully. The gas guage liked that also.

 

[Z06]

Sweet. Thats close to what some Pulsares do. Maybe thats what I should get...

If yopu can find a good one, it is an awesome hull. You have to learn the boat to get good speeds out of it. I am used to flying it from when I race hydros, some people get really nervous hanging it that much on the edge. That is when I have fun. I loved to take it out by myself and fly her. The hull is only 800 lbs and would really lay down with another person it the boat. You really have to watch the rpms too if You run it loaded vs. alone. I ran a 22p Raker at first and the acceleration was incredible, it would pin you in your seat, but I had to back off because it wanted to turn 6300 rpm's. I put on a 24 Raker and lost some mid range, but in moderate temperatures, it would peg right at 6 grand. The people who built the motor for me said I could turn it up to 6400 for bursts, but don't let it hang there. When I hit 68, I think I was at 6400. I had one eye on gps and onother looking for barge wakes

I saw one in the under 10K section of Chris' thread there that was alright. Now that I think about it, yours would have been nice...
