What hull was your Black Max on?

The PO of my XR6 had it on a bass boat and said he got 70mph, which I do believe based on my own experience with a 150 on a 17' bass boat years ago.

It was a 16 foot Stratos (Astro?) bass hull but topside it was a gofast style. Black. It was labeled something else can't remember the name but the HIN told me the story.

We had it about a year when we had the 36 down in guntersville for a few years as the supply boat for our group of 10 or so that would anchor out for the weekends. We could get ice, booze, steaks etc and back very quickly for everyone. iirc it was a 23 mile run from our usual anchor spot. Everyone else's chase boats for those that had them were like maybe 30 mph tops and ice melts fast. The Pig and the booze store were just across the highway from a ramp. We became friends with the owners of the booze store so they would shop both food and booze and meet us at the ramp. Thankfully there was a red-light there.

One morning run for ice to make bloody Mary's I looked at ac and told her I drink too much to own this boat. Never drove it again took about two weeks to sell.

Well, I'm just going to post the unedited videos and live with it. Ugh. Not up to my usual standards. :cautious:

From inside my boat, using my phone.
