Thanks Bob and Mike,

It has been a long road but finally reaching the end. Now to start thinking about the next winter project. Haha.

Bob has taken me over to your builders shop , both to meet Ron and check out his own engines . I was very impressed with them and the work they are doing . From what I have seen you should have a nice reliable motor , looks like a work of art to me .

Thanks guys. Yes Notda Ron does a great job of delivering a product of quality. I gave him a lot of leeway in the design of this thing and we are looking for really good numbers and reliability from it. So far we are right around 800 hp, not sure of speeds yet as I am meticulously checking out all the systems one by one. Prop wise starting with bravo 30 but thinking 5 blade in the 30/32 range once I am happy with the operations of the drive chain. Then I will let her eat per say. Boat was pretty quick with previous engine and xr drive. Went to a bmax, hp gimbal and have increased the HP by about 200hp so it should still be pretty quick. Just gotta put that HP to the prop and get a good bite.
