Going to start over again, I have put the smaller K planes on, and I am going to go back to the original X dimension and take the spacers out and try the 3 sets of props that I have one of which is the rounded ear props and see where it takes me. I now have access to a ramp that is 5 minutes...

Small bugs here and there, speeds are creeping up. It frees up and takes off at 80, have not seen the top yet, I should be down every weekend now and the 2 weeks surrounding the shootout and see what the top end is. Lowering the drives and the shorter K planes definitely helped. The rounded...

Going down this weekend a staying the week, had to put the pontoon in this last week end and entertain some non boaters.

with the 3" spacers and the same props I used last year the handling has improved drastically. It also planed out easier and faster. the bow is now up and the boat is on the second step or past it. It was calm and early in the am with very few boats out, I took it from the state park to my...

Update to start the year, put on bigger drive spacers, took off the 380 planes and put on 280's,will use the same props, have another set to try, same size only rounded tips. BB Blades thinks the rounded props will be the ticket. We will see in the next few weeks.

Got the mufflers and inserts done, I will get the pictures this week, it took the harshness out, still sounds good, I have a video of them in the slip running. I will get pictures as well. Went by on purpose close to 3 different water patrol on Saturday who were just sitting and observing, they...

Trying out something a little different, will be putting them on this weekend and will report back. I have been by a few WP and they have not chased me down yet. I have one WP who is hanging by the house and waiting, the wife used our binoculars to see him looking over at us last Saturday

They are 5"

Picture of transom

Have not forgot, have not been to make to the lake since mid February

I will look for a picture

86 or 87 somewhere in there turn downs would take some doing, as the exhaust is does not go straight out the back the two center pipes are crossed with the staggered motors

The neighbor 3 doors down he is in his late 70's, causes headaches for the whole subdivision and we only have 7 houses in it. The two on either side of me go with us sometimes and love it, will only put the mufflers if we get hassled, otherwise I was not bothered last year and we intentionally...

Herring 17.5 28 pitch 15degree rake Actually they both were fat, played around a few weekends with resizing the air bleeders to match what the boat needed in the real world versus what it was needing on the dyno, they always started right up but the port would stumble from neutral into gear...

No worries stable was comfortable looking forward to seeing what it will really do this year
