<br /> I put a bunch of new gas and vacuum lines on the motor today and decided to run out to Parksville for a test run and look for noodlin holes while there. Didnt find a single hole in the places we checked, but the water was a perfect 84* so the swim was at least nice. Only about 6 boats on the water as well, very little wind, and just nice to cruise around. <br /> Run the boat a while and got it up to 48 MPH riiiiight before striking a huge tree floating in the water. emoBang emoBang Luckily it was a glancing blow as I turned, so it just scuffed the gel-coat a little. Could have been MUCH worse. Scared the crap out of me though!emoLaugh emoLaugh
