Wanted to boast a little about my progress in the GS. I took it out today for the 5th time since I bought her & I think I am doing well considering I have not had any pilots show me the ropes. 83 gps!! I know that isn't considered near the ol century mark but it sure felt awesome! 2 weeks ago was the first time I really got her on the pad & ran 73. Today I just drove gradually finding more speed with trim. My friends with the STV's & Hrdro's said 83 is awesome for the 27 Trophy prop with my 2:1 lower & 6800 rev limit on the Opti. I think it actually still had some left. I know one thing for sure the GS drives a lot better with someone in the passenger seat. Problem is I don't trust myself enough to run it hard unless I am alone. 50 lbs of lead shot helps a lot but just not like having a passenger. Anyway, just wanted to tell someone who might appreciate & understands the learning curve with these badass boats. Will update again in a few weeks. RR
