    Shockwave 26.....50.4mph..lol

    I know most if you guys could care less about this little boat. But to me, this boat means something. This was my first boat...my entrance into this hobby. I'm a speed demon at heart and I tried my best to get my original shockwave to go over 40 - 45 mph. I failed miserably. I could not keep it on the water. I literally tore the boat up trying to do it. So now I thought I'd go it a go again and see if I've learned anything. Well I've found out that evidently I have......and I'm not done with it yet.....

      I know! Lol. The other ponds I run at were occupied by people fishing. I didn't want to disturb them. I bet it would have went faster if i could have stretched it's legs.

          Thanks! That's not my normal pond....I was desperate and had to find something because a bunch of people were fishing in my first pick for a pond to run in. I'll have a Better run next weekend weather permitting.

            Very nice, looks like you had to get of the throttle a little to early to make the turns.. Yep you need a bigger pond. Fast little rocket.

                    You should have heard what everyone was saying that was out there on the river. The neighbors even came outside to watch. It's downright unruly. Lol. I guess I need to put better turn fins and trim tabs on it.

                        I added a little weight to the bottom... I flipped it three times and all three times it landed right side up. Like a cat lol

                          I like it, I want to do a repower on my son's Shockwave 26 (older brushed version) but just something to keep up with Grandpa's new Blackjack 29.

                              Went run it again. This is a fun little boat and very reliable. Here's a video of it




                              This is how it went
