GN boats in action......

[gn7]

Sharp, when a GN gets washed down like the pic GN7 posted, do the carbs, ignition, engine etc.. suffer can water damage?

Its hard to see, but most of the water is being pushed away from the boat, Very little of it, if any lands on the engine.
That kind of wash of other boats, specially on the outside of a cruiser is what you have to avoid. The 20 sets up a wall of water like that when its turned in hard, usually some sort of defensive move, like that was. The 21 sets up a wall of water on the outside, and very little on the inside, Its a chine thing that makes them different. Its also what causes the 21 to stand up on its side off the turns sometimes, and the 20 never does. The outside chine is well out of the water when a 20 turns.

Believe it or not, the worse wash down we ever suffered was at the 300 enduro, when a driver cut across Bill's path. the enduro can be a little risky because the vast majority of the guys out there don't race, and they can do some pretty stupid things.

Its situations like this that are a much bigger concern than the water that comes off your own boat. Specially in the salt water of Long Beach.
