That's impressive!

Did you see any increases in speed with the shorties alone, and how to they handle on the 29?

Re: 1" shorty Lower

I bought the boat with them. The guy I bought it from claimed it ran 68-69 before. I confirmed that with a friend of his, before the friend found out I owned the boat. Make sense?
Coustomtouch can verify my speed. We ran with each other @ PK last summer.

Now if David "CustomTouch" had told me that, well I may not have believed it!

The 68 to 69 is what a friend of mine saw with the same power.

I am not expecting to pick up that much speed from what I have seen on the 36, but who knows?

Thanks

I ended up at 83.2gps at 5900 to 6000rpm 2'' shortie 65gals gas. going to lg prop in spring. if the knee is done
