3 checkmates and a talon

Sweet video!!! What's the I/O on the right side, Enchanter or Exciter? Couldn't really tell in the vid but looks like an Enchanter to me! Either way for an I/O that boat is set up good, looks like it was able to hold pace with the out-boards, must be a well built small block under the hatch!! I don't think i can air out my Enchanter that well with the stock 350!!
 
You talking about the one BEHIND me?
That's why I make the videos, otherwise I'd never see ya...
:D
Just curious and that is ...................no boat on that vid was neck to neck with you to begin with ......... considering you were way ahead of the pack from the start .......and to tell you the truth i really think the Talon was covering some serious ground considering he was so far behind you, and if given a chance to run against you neck and neck .......i bet he just might have kicked YOUR Azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz or BEHIND . Just my 2 cents

It's an enchanter, my favorite boat on the lake. It has a lightly worked 350 in it, does a bit over 70. It's in great shape to.

Your stupid comments mean a lot considering you don't know the setup of any of the boats.

Nope, not a member on here. He's had the boat since new, its an 84 I believe. Grew up watching it come roaring down the lake. .
