Yea, I was really looking forward to pickwick again with ya'll this year. Come to Texoma and you know you got a ride here. Just dropped the port engine back in yesterday and it's about 90% hooked up. Should be lake testing in the next week or two. I'll get ahold of you when I come back to TN to sign papers on the house.

Yellow and purple SC. Had pro-charged 750s in it when I bought it. NA power now. I borrowed the 22s from Kelly for the weekend while waiting for mine to show up. Accelerated like a sprint car to 65 then I hit the limiters. Lol. Was spinning 32s prior

Oh wow, lol nice. One day I'll be in a BT... that's the end goal, I searched my ASS of for one of the 32' BTs that have the windshield fairings like the 43 & 46s, but apparently those are like needles in a haystack

Finally got an update on the Scarabs performance! Been stuck at 60 this whole time, did a tune up on it and changed the fuel filters today, and ran 63.5 over and over again at 4900 with the 3 blade 21p Mirage + props with 2 people and over 1/4 fuel, ran smoother, started better, and motors were in sync so perfectly! just got some 22p 4-blades in the mail today so Im gonna try them out tomorrow and see how they do!

One last update if anyone is still following. Just put on my new Hydromotive 22p 4-blade quad-IV props, and with 2 people and 3/4 tank of gas, it runs 63.5 all day long at 4600 rpms. 64.0 at half tank and all the beer cans empty... lol. Also this was all on glass smooth water so I'm sure it would see a couple more with some chop. These props changed the whole character of the boat and I am NEVER goin back to 3 blades! It rockets up on plane with no cavitation what so ever, it has zero pourpose at any speed, and you can cruise all the way down to 32 mph at 2800 rpms and it holds on plane amazing. Cruises amazing at about 45mph at 3500 rpms, which is where most of my driving is. Best change I've made to the boat yet. I think it's just about ready for the whipple chargers next after the boat wrap tho...
