Lake test run

by SeaRaySteve » 09 Jun 2016, 19:14

Dragged the Sea Ray up from Calshot today as we have a special needs open day on Sunday at our local outdoor activities centre, and we are going to be giving joy rides around the lake

Dropped her into today and as no one was on the water had the chance for a quick blast ;)

Slow it certainly isn't. Damn :!: Love the Doppler effect too

I squeezed a 580hp 502ci / 8.2 ltr big block into the old girl , we managed about 8 secs of full throttle before we ran out of lake ;)
The Doppler affect makes her sound like a griffon engined spit in the video

Lots more pics and video to follow on Sunday, we are likely to have 200+ kids and carers to wizz around the lake
