As the old saying goes, Ranger boats are known as "Lead Sleds" and my 520L boat is no different although I do have it propped right and my G-2 is a strong motor so I can hit 70MPH when trimmed out.
Saturday I was in a T and making a long run from the blast off of my number being called, cold clear morning with smooth water and I was flying (Flying being of course a relative term)
So here I am doing 69-70 as it would toggle between the two speeds but mind you I am FLAT OUT and a Jaguar pulls along side, almost like he wanted to have a conversation. As soon as we made eye contact I saw him smile and that boat with a 400 on the back just left me in the dust.
Now mind you anyone would expected him to be faster but the way he built the additional speed and pulled away was impressive and humbling at the same time !!
