So yesterday I was at my dealer picking up a couple things and I was given the chance to ride in the corvette boat.

So I head down to the lake. I pull in the parking lot and there she is the z06 powered monster floating right off the dock.

We jump in and start heading down the lake the rumble of the motor the smooth ride that you would expect and a throttle that honestly will snap you back in your seat. after a few minutes of rocketing around the lake I am given the opertunity to get behind the wheel. Thumbup.gif

all I can say is ??????.. I dont think I can find words to discribe the feeling. The throttle drops the boat jumps and the next thing you know your doing 50 plus..It truly was amazing. The fit and finish and details are unmatched by any boat I have ever been in.THANK YOU BAKES MARINE! To all the employees at bakes marine I say thank you. It was an experiance that I will never forget and I had to share it.

Right place at the right time is right. We got some pics and even some video as soon as it get posted ill add links. It is definatly an awsome boat. I had mine out on sat. and felt like I was waiting for it to come out of the hole compared to the vette that baby pops out of the water like a 50# wake boarder. Black pearl I know what you mean about the fisherman. The indians started netting on friday and they are always so pleasant. They had boats tide to all the launch docks and acted like they owned the place. At least untill the ranger showed up and started kicking them off.

That was a great time! I'm glad you made it out with us to share that experience.

The 08' Corvette boat is so much stronger than the last Corvette (Calaway 383) The noise that engine produces is crazy, it sounded like a air plane. Yahoo.gifYahoo.gifYahoo.gifYahoo.gif

We had ours at 60, and room to go

Did you re-prop your Vette? We didn't have great water so over 50 was a little sketchy when you hit a wakes. The boat did a easy 55mph.

Everyone talks about how awesome the Corvette boat sounds, however I've not been able to find any "at-speed" fly-by videos of the Corvette boat. Anyone have a link to one?

I've got a video of a Corvette "Fly By" i need to download a .mov to .mpeg converter so i can upload it... i will try to get it posted today...

It won't show the noise that I'm talking about, it's the noise when the engine spools up, it sounds like it has a turbo or supercharger when it accelerates, the only way i can describe it is that higher pitched noise you here when your sitting inside a jet airplane. It sounds good!!!!!

I downloaded Prism Video converter for free. Worked great to convert .mov files recorded on my Kodak to a format that is viewable on my iPod, which you would think would play .mov files...
