The wife and I do ok and have no kids so we buy toys for ourselves. :dthumb:

It's not that big of a boat but it's big enough for us and a few peeps to tag along...sounds good and moves out pretty decently. :rockout:

Not a bad trade off

Oh, in my eyes you are the man.

I may have a man crush on you... Ok that was a little gay.

I'm in the same boat (small pun) as you minus the wife as of resently so ya, live it up man!

I would say that looks like about a 21 Ft. er from the pic, Is it? 19Maybe?

Still looks sweet. You got a silent choice exhaust on it?

I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about taking off Saturday morning and heading east, do an overnight somewhere, head back Sunday afternoon.

hey ebbs u here yet?

that's ok, its raining right now anyway.

On my fucking way bro... sitting in Inchon Airport right now... got another hour before my flight... but 15hrs I'll be in San Fran... then on to Den. then Fargo... so 23hrs from now!

It's 23 feet with an add on 2 foot swim platform making it 25 total. Yep on the captain's choice exhaust.:dthumb: It's kind of like having a cut-out exhaust...can sound loud cocky to show off for the performance nut friends :rofl: but can silence it when back in the coves when people are sitting out on their deck and enjoying the peace and quiet. :idk:

It's only a small block with 320 HP which comes in handy v.s. a big block since gas prices have gone up but will still top 60 mph.

Thanks again.

Prop pitch/selection determines most of your top end.
When I was working for Gekko boats, most of 'em would top out around 55 or so, but get there in a hurry. With a race prop (and 375 hp PCM engine) the same 22 ft boat would do a tick over 70, confirmed by GPS.

I could easily hit 55+ on my 21 foot boat with 275HP. I was running a 23 pitch, 3 blade stainless prop.

I believe the stock prop was a 23 pitch 3 blade on the ski boats, 21 pitch 4 blade on the wake boats.

not sure what the pitch was on the race prop.

top end was always the same on anything from a 20ft up to the 25ft wake boats, no matter the engine. (315hp to 375hp) It was just a matter of how quick it got there.
