Ridinng the SeaVee
 

Went out on my friends Sea Vee today, took a couple short videos for ya'll. The boat is a 77 25ft Sea Vee, its got a pair of 2.5L EFI Mercs on them, not much done to the power heads, mostly stock(stock reeds, stock heads and gaskets, no portibng, stock ECU's), set on 20" offshore mids with the cans removed, spinning 26P small ear choppers(needs 28's). We can't run it hard for long, having water flow issues, hope to have nose cones with low water pick ups next week. It accelerates like its been shot out of a cannon, the video doesn't do it justice. Enjoy the video. Ridge, turn up the volume!!

Boy looks like you are holding on for dear life there my friend

I was filming the fly by video, the guy holding on for dear life was taking special care not to spill his "beverage"

Sweet! Nice lines on that one. I'm not a Merc guy, but video #3 was kinda sexy.

LOL Volume up over here. They are mounted high. 20" motors on a 25" bracket right? The choppers are made to surface, little porpoise action. Very little positive trim I notice, looks great. What a sweet hull too.

right now, any positive trim makes the heat buzzer go off real quick, hope to have that taken care of next week. It doesn't need any trim, it really flys the bow with those wheels, think about trying a set of lasers to calm it down a little, but the choppers are fun! Wonder what a set of cleavers would do?

Come get these tabs...he needs 'em worse than I do...:nic:

he's got tabs, they slow him down

The placement of my tabs make them near useless when I fly the V. They are 6" out of the water and catching a little spray is about all.

To quote Steve Steppe's comment about stepped hulls "if you are running fast enough, that part of the boat ain't in the water anyway"
