Good god, what does it cost to drive that boat around at that speed all day. I gotta think burning $20 bills ever 10 mins would be cheaper LOL...

yeah I agree, it is suprisingly not that bad on fuel, wakeboarding at 22mph with 1000lbs ballast burns more fuel then surf n with 2500lbs at 11mph...

my camera diedthe other night with my new 1100 lb bags so no pics,, water was cold.... wave was awesome, I am stoked.



yes Bogger you must pay to play.... and I pay lol:beer:

At WOT (play speed) I burn 22 gal/hr.... cruising @ 23 mph I burn 9 gal/hr and putting around @ 8 mph I burn 5 gal/hr

we built a jet boat a few years back that had about 900 HP, a custom cut stainless impeller, Berkley 12JG and would burn a little over $400 in race gas in just under 3 hrs at an average cruising speed of 60 mph....LOL never tried to ski behind it....:p
