We were finally able to get our 95 252 on the lake this past weekend. We recently had the boat in for a few upgrades, one of which was the addition of Corsa Captain’s Call exhaust. In this clip we fire it up and then run it up to the top speed. We did 55 with a full tank of gas and 4 people on board. That is 2-4 mph better than we’ve done in the past.

The flag really gives you a feel for the speed. Nice sound also.

Re: 252 With Captain’s Call
The water was 65 degrees but that didn't stop our boys. They used the new swim platform to slowly dip themselves in until they were brave enough to just go for it. lol They were doing cannon balls off the back by the end of the day. The boat sounds exactly like what I was hoping for, and that flag pole is a quality product. I'm very impressed. Now I just have to try and find a blue line American flag that size.

Sounds great! Always nice to see a trip to the mechanic end with happiness rather than just a lighter wallet.

Re: 252 With Captain’s Call
At what speed do you think the flag just is straight behind you and not flapping? Great video and sound

Re: 252 With Captain’s Call
Dang it AJ. I had to go back and watch it again. That flag flapped like a fish on the dock the whole time?!!

Re: 252 With Captain’s Call
We were running 55 mph for most of that. That flagpole is worth every penny. I kept think what that speed would have done to a plastic one.
