What prop do you run?
Speed?
I dont know if sheŽs dialed in yet but weŽre getting closer.
A new top speed was seen the other day.
77 mph accordingly to the livorsi gps speedometer.
Same prop (standard Bravo 26) as used last year when I hit a 74 mph run.
Since the bottom job the biggest difference is crusing speed. Much better than before.
Need to run this prop some more in different conditions etc. After that, next step is to test some more (different) props and then the plan is to order an labed prop as a final.

Long time no hear....
Some work has been done. Nothing big, but anyway.
2 of the old ignition cables had given its best.
Shifted all 8. Tough job with the motor in the boat.
Glad that I have an 8footer wide.

This weekend I shifted the lower of the XR to the old sport master.
I really liked the feeling of the sport master when I had it on.
Even though people over here says Im likely to loose speed with the sm I want to try it.
-2" inch might help me turn a bigger prop thus gaining speed?
Also, its a bit of different boat this time as I have closed the notch.
Also I have added a splash plate this time on the drive. Not fully mounted on the last 2 pics.
Plan on splashing this weekend if time is on my side.
WeŽll see how it works out?

This year I planed on taking part in the Poker Run Stockholm and therefor I invested for me and my friend the 2 most expensive T-shirts ever.
Had an idea of doing them with a focus on history.
Talked to Charlie and got some logos to use and took the history text from the http://bananaboatco.com/
I think they came out pretty well. Allthough I should have increased the font size on the history text.
