 1644 GD and EVT custom GDSD
Finally got my gps on it this morning. Boat has some hooks. Load was me( 215), buddy (250), dog (90), 3 guns, couple dozen dekes. Across open water with slight chop on way out, 15-25mph chop coming back. Speeds were: Going out- 27.2 Coming in after trimming up maybe a half turn and stronger chop - 28.6!!! I was impressed, as this hull probably dont to this motor justice.
Motor is a 31 block, with lots of Silk custom loving, i.e. rockers, bigger bore, cam (?) etc... POWERFUL! Also running the 3 blade.
Buddy had his stage 1 GTR rig and was running close to same load, if not less, and was NOT leaving me, but rather slighting gaining( he road my wash out), bigger chop he appeared to ride a lot better. Riding in his rig the other day, i must admit, it felt waaaaay smoother riding than mine. BUT, I've never ridden, always drove, so i dunno.
Big thanks to Mike and Robert at EVT, especially cuz I might be seeing ya'll soon!
Forgot to add, i love my rig, but reverse is F'IN sweet!
