well.........2 guys,cooler,3/4tank of gas, 1/2tank oil,and 55degrees= one cold f***ing ride!!!!!-62.6gps@6,300:yell: guess that means a knew prop! oh yeah the prop shaft height was at 3inches....... i'll know more later hopefully. trying to round up a buddy to head to the lake!!!!
 
Ross you know you could have gone a bit faster w/o the beer...Should bring the boat down here man...The river was nice this morning and it's 65 and no wind! Good luck with more runs...
 
You really should stop by and say hello to that dealer that told you needed a complete overhaul on your powerhead.

Be sure to tell him that you took care of everything yourself with just a little "Tweaking" and now it's running great... ( Make sure that there's a few customers around to overhear this too!)
 
great idea:thumb: i do still have to change the switch boxes but i don't have them here yet- it took about 45mins. to get the boat to come up to"par". it would only run in the low 50's gps untill then! i won't say that to them though!!!!
 
didn't get her back in today- the dock is not in at the launch yet so i need some help-do you guys have any input on where i should set the plate at for the next run? i brought it up to 2" from 3" and i'll try that sometime this week hopefully!:cheers

You are right on that one my friend...



I could imagine it being a pain to get the boat in w/o the docks...Looks like the weather for this comming weekend isn't going to be as nice...It's still almost april, you've got another few weeks before the racing begins! HAHAHA


To the comment on it feels like 162mph....It doesn't take beer to make it feel that fast when Ross is behind the wheel! HAHAHA

Hopefully you can get it to run great right when you put it in...Have a feeling those switch boxes are the problem???
