Test shots at parker...

[MAXIMUS]

Here is a couple of stills from some of the video footage I have on the test runs... The one shot where the boat is riding high was a result of some rollers I ran across at 100+ http://www.***boat.net/image_center/data/500/2172_1_2003_6_07_PM_0001.jpg http://www.***boat.net/image_center/data/500/2172_1_2003_8_08_AM_0001.jpg

Nice, I had a Daytona with the exact same colors, I think they pumped out that color scheme a lot in 1994. Good looking ride.

maximus- you might have done this already, but can you post some info on your setup? or just send me to a thread where you've already talked about it. Have you found the top speed of your boat yet?

Here is another one idling in front of the dock... idle video (http://www.neptune.com/users/maximus/video/maximus20030303070809.wmv)

Paul Grichar built the motor & has been by my side since we got it running. He is the "engine guru" period... He is also very good at making prop boats run fast. This is the first jet he has messed with... With a little help from jack at MPD we have come along way... H.B. I really don't know what kind of hp it has... I would be guessing if I said. The top speed that weekend was 109. In that video it should have been at least 106. That was my slowest run of the session. We will go faster next time! :)

[HBjet]

It looks really nice and I sure love those 21' Daytona's. Jack is a good guy, I have him do all of my pump work. What's that tank in the back? Just a regular 3rd gas tank? :D

[77charger]

[572Daytona]

Good going Maximus...gotta love those 21' Daytona's, you've got it running good. Are you going to bring to to the BBSP and see if Barney want's to run you with his 21' weed wacker :)

[MAXIMUS]

Thank you 572daytona I have been working my ass off on the set up & we finally got a handle on what it likes... If you ever decide to make changes please feel free to contact me...
