I've wondered that as well. We threw a blade on Predator just outside of Key West. Instant huge vibration, but 3 diesels- so no severe pull that I remember, although I wasn't driving. Losing one of two has to be more severe.

It was the loudest, scariest noise i ever heard in the boat. When it happened we stopped immediatly and killed the engines. I thought I was going to find connecting rods in the bildge or that the drive shaft broke off and destroyed the bildge. I can't believe how much noise it made!
Here are the updates that were done at MTI. They did a beautiful job!
New
one piece tinted Windshield
Dash with big Garmin

Terry,
The center console looked beautiful. I'm sorry i did't get by to go for a ride. I was exhausted when we got back. I will go with you on the next one. Thank you again for the offer!!

Thanks Gino,
Sorry I missed you but at least you were able to enjoy some great boating on Saturday.
Are you going to do the West Coast runs next month?
I'll be happy to take you then.

First time I ever met Larry Goldman was at Turnberry isle (around 1981), He was driving a small 16' Donzi type boat with electric shift, he was pulling head in to a slip and it wouldn't come out of forward and he went right under the dock and hit the land on the other side.:blush5:
The scariest moment I ever had in a boat was at poker run in Savannah several years ago. We were heading in to Savannah running about 80 and went by some type of confederate park. Right as we went by they shot off a REAL cannon! For a second I thought my boat had just blown up.

I have thrown several blades off at different times,, seem to remember turning the boost up to 30 lbs on the 632's at the shootout and breaking a few sets of props trying to make a full pass.. something you may want to check is take a dial indicator and spin your prop shaft and make sure it did not bend it, and check the back bearing for wear... the vibration bent the prop shaft on my arneson the last time we broke a prop. it definately shakes the entire boat..
the last time i turned the boost up i had a set of rolla props on it and it bent all the blades forward and started chewing up my arneson twin fin...

Just curious, but why do you always run with separate throttle man or driver? The boats' controls & cockpit setup look easy as can be to run the boat solo?
The new updates MTI did look nice as well! :cheers2:
