Thanks for all of the nice comments guys! The lightened version makes the sky and background look way better - water, well not so much. It was a kinda cloudy day and I did try to brighten it up a little without making the boat change colors.

Yeah - we all do like our starfligners...oh well - it's all good!!

Hobbie - not so sure how much faster my boat is, maybe once I get that jackplate. I still haven't really had it on anything smooth/long enough to run it out by myself since I learned about the 225EFI throttle pullback/timing trick - it makes a BIG difference. Best gps is 64 (26p trophy @5400rpm) before I learned to pull back. But I've seen close to 6000rpm and 71spedo with my 24p trophy+ after I learned to pull back the throttle. Probably was 65 to 68gps... and the shore was coming up FAST! Running around 15% slip from what I recall.... yikes!
 
If he is not a member,he is disqualified then...:rof:

Needafunboat,,my engine must be really tired if your 225 can turn a 26,,my 200 can barely turn a 24..If you are seeing 70 without a jackplate,,you really don't need one,you found your sweet spot..cause you are not going to see much more out of a 225..
 
That is a pretty tight pic of Joe. Isnt that in a no wake zone though.:sssh:

Thats the strongest 250 I ever seen.;)
