Why do you care, inboards aren’t an especially fast breed

Apples and Oranges but my '04 with the stock prop, 8.1, and 4 people ran 55.6 on my handheld GPS. Granted the lake was glass that day. Cheers

I've had my X-45 going 85mph downhill behind my truck (no ballast)

the reason i ask is because i want to know if i would be able to barefoot behind one. don't really care about the size of the wake (at barefooting speed). just want to be able to sit out in the table and do some footin'.

That's a little more information. I think it would be important to ask what barefooting is like behind a X.

We aren't serious about footin', but we taught tons of people to foot behind my X-Star last year, and I have the 350.

Yeah, it'll do 40ish without a problem.

They're also great for picnics and offshore drilling.

Hey Mike. Your breaking the law. I'll bet you drink beer in that X-45 too, with girls aboard!

barefooting behind the x-star seems like it would be an adventure...

Rob, Sometimes you need a little extra MPH to get over the next "hump" in the road.

I do enjoy a cold beverage, but we keep it cool when out on the H2O. The party starts when the sun goes down....

Babes always welcomed!

Mike, I need to remember that excuse the next time I get pulled over. As for the rest of that post, If your ever in the mid west give me a shout. I think we speak the same language.

I spent some time footin behind the 205 same as the 205 V same as the Xstar until they changed it to the X2 then the X1.....
(You would think the same people that named 2 different Centurions with different hulls the Lighning did that

)
That hull had a great curl and a good table until you got to 42 or 43 then the table was almost uncrosable. If you are just hanging out in the Curl it was a great boat.

I dont have any time behind the new Xstar but most boats will have a good curl to foot in as long as the boat will pull you the
Speed that you need you should be good to go.

Mike. I'm at Dale Hollow Lake. It boarders Tn and Ky. It's 3 hrs for me to get there, but its worth it. I have a friend at lake of the Ozarks. Beautiful place. How about that party cove?
