Don\'t try this at home...

Hmmm, this looks like some sort of challenge:
Rinker 232, Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi, 270hp.

Sidle up to the starting gate and...

#####

Oh no, dropping behind already, this isn't looking good...

#####

To use drag racing terminology, I have been "killed"... Is any part of that Rinker touching the water ?

#####

Might be time for an engine upgrade, but it was close. I was flat out all the way.

And no, don't ever try and stand up in a moving tender.
Or race another boat.

Not my boat !

Even so, as it went thru 40knots it was still accelerating. Only a squawk from the onboard female speed limiter caused it to back off.

What a fine fine boat.
We reached 47knots in ours.


Who wants to buy one???
Form an orderly queue please.

Looks better with the extended bathing platform don't you think?
