Does anybody here know this guy?

Me and a few of my friends are looking for a friend of ours. His name is James and he seems to have lost his friggin' mind. Once a highly regarded member of the AT Cult has sold his AT and bought a BT. If anyone on here has seen him tell him we miss him and hope he gets the help that he so desperately needs. We love you man (and your wife is HOTT, with 2 T's) We just want you back, we'll forgive you for straying to the dark side. Phone Home James, just phone home

Had it out yesterday with 5 guys on board and a little over half tank, 26 pitch props @ 5200 rpm a whopping 73.8 mph, which I really should be happy with for a 12,500 lb. boat & stock 500 efi's.
Not much to tweak here so I will sit back and ride.

James, tabs down 7/8 of the way, drives all the way down, feather the throttles not over 4000 Rpm until you are @ 15 MPH with a light load or a little faster with a heavier load. When the speed is right SLOWLY start the tabs up. When the props catch ease the throttles to 3500 RPM. When you hear the fist step break suction you are on plane. Tab and trim accordingly after you are on plane. Small increments at a time.
