CM want's to know how many of you have really driven a true HP hull?

Want to know your driving ability.

Drove my buddies Allison, what a ride!!!!!

Drove a buds Ally ounce as well with 225 pro max. Talk about getting some lift and only the prop in the water..... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif Ahole pucker factor on 1st run... 9 http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif

I've driven an Ally pro sport with a 200 merc. and 2 20' Bullets 1 with a 250xb and 1 with a 225 promax. I haven't really stretched any of them out, just up to about 80mph. Not enough seat time! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif RR

I was a pilot in a Bayliner once....http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif

How about a Ganoe with a 1968 Johnson 1.5hp rope start

That don't count SH http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthdown.gif Rusty ifn you got the cojones to even know about a BaySinker you are doing sumpin next to nothin. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emhammer.gif CM http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/pimp2.gif

Only two on your list that I have not been in control of, F1 and the Bold boat http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif

I don't have the nads to totally fly a high perf boat....My little one gives me a pucker on a big lake in heavy chop http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif

ChampioN 168 (16' 8") with a heavily modified Merc 225. The pucker factor was unbelievable. Luckily we ran out of gas before we killed ourselves.

drove a blazer

I have driven a Rocket before. They were custom built bass boats made for south LA. The link will show you some photos. The boat in the picture belongs to a friend of mine. He gets 83+ out of this setup with a load. The one I drove was a little slower. It belonged to my brother and had a 225 VMax on it. Still ran upper 70s with a T load.

OK it was a long time ago behind a Gambler Super Stallion. I let go at about 70.

Does that count?

I'll let it slide NE http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif ! CM http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/pimp2.gif

Drove a skater on cumberland at 130 mph once what a rush.

Drove friend's Bullet w/ 2.5L Merc (Didn't know til later it had been extensively reworked). Friend says that if I can drive 17.5 ft Javelin w/ 150 I should have no problem with his. Ok, I'm game. Took lots of muscle til hit about 70. As GPS approached 90 I thought "what a rush, but if I ever get this thing slowed down I will never complain about my boat only running 65." Friend says I can drive his boat any time. No thanks.http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif
Later drove another friend's TR-22 w/225 Yammie. Not real fast but rides like Caddie.

2fast4u that is a movin it for sure http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif , I have run my xb02 ally to 92 with my 225+ slomc at 7200 with a 27srx even with pad, she is a blast to drive and sure sounds awsome getin it there http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif , I will tell ya that since I have had this thing I have seen alot less Bass from what I did when I had my hydrasport, I wonder why. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

16 ' Old Town with a MinKota MX65 Propshaft 6" below the keel.

Hole shot is a tad slow
Turns take a while
Top end ? No speedometer, too lazy to move the GPS from the lead sled
Gas milage OUTSTANDING ! Pretty good on oil too
