Looking good Phil, Nice to see it mobile

Did you manage to get the jet wash round it in the end?

Thats a "gorgeous" boat and you are so lucky to have Gaz as your brother.

Compare the slow wake shot against the speed wake shot........?? Several corrections at slow speeds...no keel and rudder, however at speed shot...steady as a rock.

What's the speed limit around that powerstation? Only asking coz it looks like you are going at a fair rate - of course if you'd prefer not to say....
