Yeah, but they can't outrun the radio. And there's no place to hide on the lake.
So, it's clear they have plans that they execute in those situations.
What MP boat can run 70? I know the ribs the CG uses here are very heavy, about 9,000 pounds plus loaded. With big twin outboards, they hit maybe 50.
