Few pics from the lake, me and my buddy racing a little

The yellow boat is a 1990 20 ft Mach III. It has a 330 hp 454 with a bravo. Turns a 23 pitch to 5000 rpm and tops out at 60-61 mph, BUT, we are at 3000 feet above sea level. Don't know how much difference that makes butnid have to say that the elevation scrubs some speed.

The guys that build the Concords in Arkansas say that at low elevation a 330/454 should pull that boat close to 70mph so your buddy may not be far off.

And I didn't get bent about the rude comment. I do believe that calling a mans boat ugly is right up there with calling his woman ugly. Think it all you want, don't state it publicly. :poke:

As a matter of fact, I'd love to see some more action shots of that blue and white Magnum {I think you said that ones yours} -- if you can, post some more shots -- I'm betting that Magnum looks awesome launching a nice wave jump.
Maybe get a shot with a Mate in the pic also just to satisfy the forum theme :thumb:
