Actually, just got the boat out of storage yesterday. Been doing a lot of stuff around the house and haven't had time to play or work on it anyway. Got the batteries charged and cables cleaned yesterday. Fired it up on the hose for a little while today and then it was time to work on it.
Started putting on the new CMI's
Just took a little longer than I suspected with finding a good place to remount the shifter linkage and relocate all the cables so it looked and fit right. As I suspected from a large amount of steam in my exhaust last year, the Gil manifolds had some internal cracks. Nothing extreme, but enough to give the exhaust valves a nice rusty color. Gonna need a few parts to finish the plumbing on them, but should only take a few more hours. Hoping to splash it next week sometime.

I use www.throttle-up.com
Matt and Julie do the props with the help of computers so the job is precise. They did my props last year when I won all three races I did(Texas, Bahamas and Key West)

Can't beat a return like that!
I'd say Doc's experience with Throttle-Up Propellers is possibly the best referral a prop shop can get.
As a side, not long ago there was a member that was posting his experience from start to finish, with before & after numbers, while having lab work done by Houston propellers.
How did that go? did I miss the final outcome?

That was me. I have received the prop back from Darin with the satin finish on it. I'm going to try to run the boat this afternoon or this weekend and will post the numbers after. I can't wait!!!
