WildChild, nice to hear from you bro! I will definitely let you know when I decide to sell. You know my X-dimension has been raised 1 1/2 inches from stock. It's fast! We're thinking of a 37' Active Thunder AVH with the new 525's!

YOu can average them, but what I do is just float down river for about 50 yards and see what the gps reads. The Ohio river will run between about 0.5 and 3 mph, depending on the depth, etc.....Then add that to the up river run. or subtract it from the down river run accordingly
Also, note any changes in RPM's and maybe try a run with the hatch cracked open. SHould get you about 75-100 rpm increase. I don't care what others say, I've done this 200 times on my ride and it works.
By the way guys, I ran a few speed runs myself about a month ago and actually slowed DOWN when I removed my K&N Arrestor and ran with an open carb. I was pretty pleased by that. Slowed down about 0.5-0.7 mph. Obviously, it went right the hell back on

Allan4, that's a great idea! I can't believe I didn't think of that. I'll definitely try a couple of runs with the hatch cracked open.
Alma Boys, those boats are going to ROCK! You guys have an impressive display of boats down there! That marina is awesome! When you boys winterizing the rigs? Perhaps there's a weekend here when we can hook up again. What do you think?

Let's schedule a run for the 19th. Mark, do you think you can join me for a run to Alma that Saturday, Oct. 19th? Or, we could trailer down to Alma and boat from there. What do you think? WildChild, let the boys know that we are tentatively scheduling a final hoorah for the 19th. Let's keep in touch over the next week.

Mark, we are thinking of Saturday, Jan. 11th for a visit to the AT Factory. We will be heading down earlier that week to visit my inlaws in Fort Myers. Then, to the factory and then the Keys for a week.
