alky is the only way to go, but my new lakerod is 110 that is as close to pump gas I will go.
Yeah, I remember heading up to Torch Lake one time with a 55 gallon drum in the back.
There's nothing like pulling up to a pump and having the pump shut off automatically when the tank is full, as opposed to carrying gas, and mopping it out of the bottom of the boat every once in a while because you overfilled.
Back when 80 mph was fast, we used to have people going side-by-side all day long at boat meets. As the boats got faster, we didn't see this so much any more. A lot of people found that there was just too much to keep track of on an open lake at the higher speeds (the other driver, wakes, jet skis etc.) ......we had speed that we couldn't use in a lake boat except maybe for radar runs.
So a lot of the faster boats in our club have switched to pump gas, and the game isn't so much "how fast can you go", but "what can you do on pump gas with a boat you can run around in all day?" I've never been on an open lake where conditions were good enough that I didn't lift by about 120 anyway, but that's just me. I stopped trying to make the boat faster about 8 years ago, and my motor hasn't been apart for seven. Probably a sign of old age.
I might need to do something so I can accelerate like Mark though. :idea:

Placecraft Dragstar,
I got a call from a friend who wants to run you with his Lake Hydro.
He is not registered on here and had a computer problem registering so I am relaying the message for him.
I would say that he does not have as much motor in it as you do in your Placecraft although it is blown alcohol. His boat is a two seater and the motor is water cooled.
Thats ok I eat flatties and shit hydro's
He wants you to show him how you can shit hydros.
Please confirm, you are going to show Saturday ?
He said he will put up money to make it worth while too.
This just got real exciting.
Going to Brower right now, I'll be there thru Sun. Should be a great weekend, see everyone there. Stop by campsite 7 and I'll have a brewski waiting for ya!
Wow Unchained it did just get interesting didn't it.
