Advice on building a Boat for the Mini Shoot Out Lake of the Ozarks.

Carson cove is the long one

Yep, thats it Carson cove

The best thing about that cove is the family that ski's every year with about 8 people behind the boat. Is radical!

Is your place in that cove?

My good friends Kendal & Telly live at the front of the cove.

We rented a home from Big Thunder marine until it went belly up with the new owners, We still go see Bob Morgan and last year at the Shoot out we went out with Sue on chase boat to Bob and his son fly down the course

Maybe I can map it for you. We are the scond cove on the left...the first one is Eagle Creek or something liek that...we are in the next one in the back...very short cove....been there since 1973...it is my parents and they now moved to VT so I am not sure what we will do with it.

I think any decent sized cat can handle the water and get in the 70s but it will have to be good water. I may build the Daytona for it...I will sponsor my boat along with my hotel. I think it would have to be in the 36" range.

Seems we have someone that really wants this win. upper 60's and even 70 should be easy with a twin all we need is some good water for about 20 seconds.

Maybe 8S?

...the seducer is fast and he will be back. We do not need near the length of water to get to our speeds as a gas boat winding up does.

Sprint cat? 38,000 rpm...Mr Turner? Your knowledge on this hull is the best. Any ideas?

Wow there is a lot of info/costs on boats! Between Johnson and LarrysDrifter I better stick to the Mono hull in the baby class! Let them be the big dogs of the day, I can just say I know them!: I have a old mono gaser boat that looks like it might become electric!

Given the conditions of the lake, the fastest boat on a pond might not be the fastest on the lake. I think it will come down to driving, setup, and lots of luck.
