Running my old 17X 25 four blades and the 3 inches of spacers gets up on plane betwen 2,500 and 3,000 rpm without allot of effort . My first impression with the notch it that it runs with a little more bow in the air attitude and reacts much quicker to trim . The one blast I attempted saw 4,700 rpm and 73 mph in dead calm water for only a few seconds ( still breaking in motors ) . I know props are wrong and my engine guy figures we are light on timing . The carbs need to be adjusted now that it is wet . I think there is at least 10 mile in this set up once we spend more that the 15 minutes I have spent so far .

god what a great looking boat!!!!!!

Thanks gents , I will keep you posted . It supposed to be hot today so I may try and run it again this afternoon.

Rick.

It always takes time to dial everything in, good luck with it!

Yesterday in Toronto it was 38 degrees celsious so we put the boat in and went for ride to the Toronto harbour and then to a cool water access restaraunt in Port Credit called Snug Harbour . Here is a shot of a buddy of mine and me leaving the restaraunt.

I take my boss their in his 53 carver, and we draw 5'5" and I hate that narrow shallow channel to get in there.

Normally I would lunch at Park Lawn , but Tuesday I launched at Lake Front Promenade in Port Credit . I don't think you should have issues getting into that harbour as long as you stay tight to the wall on the east side . There were some pretty big boats including a rather large Sail boat there that day .Its a great place to go and have a refreshment and hang out . Friday will probably be the last day I run lake O till September as I will probably take the boat up to my cottage on lake Simcoe till labour day . Where you normally boat.
