Glad to hear you are going to stay on the water no matter what brand boat you are in. It was a pleasure meeting you in Bucyrus and hope to hook up again. Now if only I could get Adam on the water.

Thanks again to Adam for doing a fantastic job on the rigging. The pictures listed below show the custom bracket he designed, fabricated in his shop, polished and installed for the power steering resevior and for the new hydraulic engine hatch lift. They both look fantastic. He also did a super clean install for the pump and hoses for the hydraulic actuator. It is FAST, SMOOTH and QUIET.

Smitty,

Actually I was meeting Ed with Boat Mendors who is a great mechanic and long time friend. We spent about two hours adjusting the throttles to where they are a mirror image of each other, set the timing on both engines, checked the throttle position sensors and finally took her out for a spin.

It was 96 degrees HOT, dead flat water conditions and three people on board with 100 gallons of fresh 93 octane. I could not believe how fast she came on plane with the new drives and boxes. No question I could have firewalled it and she would have popped up like a ski boat. We ran her about two to three miles at 3800 RPM and let the oil temps come up. Stopped and did a quick visual check under the hatch and all was great. It was time to see what she would do and we saw 86 MPH on the GPS again on dead flat water. Right water conditions and she will be back in the low 90's. Adam loaned me a set of 30 pitch 5 blades that I plan to test the next trip out and see what they do. Overlla I am extremely pleased with the way the boat has turned out and performes. The drives and steering are simply rock solid!

Mark,

Better put it in the classifieds here, or they just might delete the all time record thread in the Baja section....

Not a problem my friend. Select a date and I'll get the Bucyrus staff doing what they do best!

No question about it. Just a few years of cat insurance especially if you are new to cats will pay for my boat! Change the blower pulley and bump the boost up to 9PSI and they are right at 950 HP. That with the right props should do the trick!

Thanks you very much, I am very proud of how it turned out. Could not have done it without the Baja guys. Lane, Doug, Dave, Greg and especially Adam. I guess I better not forget Bev and kevin.

Hey I spoke to your other brother yesterday. Why aren't you in Sturgis?

Thanks for the advice, I'll get it listed.
