Back in the day
55 years ago when the lake was not so crowded, I would head under the Weirs Bridge in my Class B Utility racer at about 35 MPH, reach back and lean out the high speed jet on the Merc, back off the throttle and glide under the bridge. The exhaust note was outstanding. "Headway Speed" was not too big an issue in those days. The Marine Patrol had a few of those heavy Steelcraft boats. They weren't very fast and there weren't many of them.
I'm not trying to encourage Bad Behavior. Just telling you how few boats were on the lake back then.
