I went over to the dark side

Love it...

That's funny because I saw you on the jet ski and thought "that dude is crazy to be out on a jet ski when it's this cold out". I just sold the motor on Ebay to some guy in Illinois. It's on a pallet awaiting shipment.

Why are you getting rid of the f150?

I don't care about thread hijacking. Texas, we got to catch up some time. After I get a few stripers in the boat it will be time for Tice's. Anyway. I tested the 21 Tempest and Mirage. I picked up about 2-3 kts but nothing earth shattering. The Tempest got me to 48.1 kts and the Mirage was 47.5 kts. Both had a decent cruise rpm. But I think I'm sticking with the rev 4 because it's a freebie. I took video of me ripping around the river but it is sideways.

Sideways will work...
