Default 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!!

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

Thumbs up

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?
