JT we stayed at 1.5 so I can have a good base line comparision from stock.

If I go with shorties I may play with the ratio.

You'll want the 1.36's or you'll have blowout troubles with the big wheels, plus I have found that anything over 30" is kinda hard to come by in the used department.

I need some more pics. Your helping me get through the winter. If they can't find a deer tell them to ride with me in my work truck. Four of them have ran in front of me on I-70.

I'm ready for the Big Blow Out we are planning in Bucyrus!

I have a pair of 32's and a pair of 34's we will see what they do and go from there.

Thanks buddy as soon as I see where we are with my props I will get in touch with you.

Hey you know how most of these deer hunting trips go.

Liquor & Guns, what a combination!

They are probably drunk trying to stay warm by a fire telling lies.

I should get some pictures soon from Adam on his maching work.

I was thinking of something the other day. If it can be done, I would recommend that your wizard boat guys fab up some way to pull clean intake air from the back of the boat. If I can dump my side mounted Whipples and go with top mounts like you have, I am going to make duct work that pulls fresh air from under the sunpad at the rear of the motors. It really kills the power when it is a 90 degree day out and the bilge temp is up around 130 or so. Just a thought, sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
